Chasidic Torah commentary by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk, a principal disciple of the Maggid of Mezritch and head of the chasidic pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1777. The book also includes his letters encouraging and requesting financial support for the settlement of the Holy Land in general, and Tiberias in particular, as well as religious instruction and practice for the Chassidim who did not join his pilgrimage but remained behind in Europe.
