-The sefer deals with practical guidance for a baal teshuvah in their conduct. In his holy letter about the sefer, the Frierdiker Rebbe writes that "the subject and content of the twenty-eight chapters of the sefer Pokeach Ivrim is detailed, like a collection from various places in the sefer Derech Chaim – the third section from Shaar HaTeshuvah V'HaTefillah."
+The sefer deals with practical guidance for a [[Baal Teshuva|baal teshuvah]] in their conduct. In his holy letter about the sefer, the Frierdiker Rebbe writes that "the subject and content of the twenty-eight chapters of the sefer Pokeach Ivrim is detailed, like a collection from various places in the sefer Derech Chaim – the third section from Shaar HaTeshuvah V'HaTefillah."
 In that same letter, [[The Rebbe Rayatz|the Frierdiker Rebbe]] relates at length the story of the baal teshuvah R' Shlomo Leib, whom the chossid R' Yosef of Beshenkowitz was involved in bringing closer to Yiddishkeit, after becoming a wagon driver under special instruction from the Alter Rebbe specifically so that this would lead to R' Shlomo Leib's return to teshuvah. According to the details of the story, the Frierdiker Rebbe explains that it appears the Mitteler Rebbe wrote the Kuntres Pokeach Ivrim for him, which is also the reason for writing the kuntres in the spoken language of that time - Yiddish.
