Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, the third Lubavitcher Rebbe, famous for his halachic work Tzemach Tzedek, wrote a tremendous number of discourses and essays on the esoteric part of the Torah—Kabbalistic and Chasidic philosophy. The first two published volumes of these discourses, on the Book of Bereishit, were printed in 1913, in Berditchev. “Or Hatorah,” the title of the work chosen by the publisher, is numerically equal to the name of the Rebbe their author, as the publisher explains in his introduction.
In 1950, the Lubavitcher Rebbe—the Tzemach Tzedek’s direct descendant and namesake—published an additional volume, on the Torah portion of Shemot, in Brooklyn, Subsequently, during the 1960s ‘70s, and 80s, further volumes followed. These contained expositions on the rest of the Tanach, the Siddur, the Talmud, and the Festivals.
Comprising 38 volumes in total, the Rebbe has pointed to the wealth of knowledge found in their pages, presenting a commentary which weaves together the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds, Midrashic works, Kabbalah, and Chasidut.
"Or Hatorah al Siddur (Tefillah)” contains the Tzemach Tzedek’s discourses and elucidations on the text of the prayers and on the expositions of his grandfather, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, in his “Siddur with Chasidic Commentary.” Collected largely from copyist’s manuscripts, with some from the Tzemach Tzedek’s actual handwriting, this volume explains weekday, Shabbat, and High Holiday prayers, with a large section discussing the marriage blessings. A supplemental list directs the reader to where further commentary on the prayers can be found throughout the rest of the Or Hatorah series.
