'''His Works'''

* '''Divrei Yemei HaTemimim''' - A work describing the development of Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch in its early years (until 1910) - as edited by him as the yeshiva's director. The writing of this work was begun by the Rebbe Rayatz, continued by Rabbi Moshe Rosenblum, but had many "holes" remaining (empty spaces intended for the copying of letters and the like). In the third issue of Kerem Chabad, Rabbi Yehoshua Mondshine completed the work, and also added many notes that shed new light on the events of that period.
* '''Divrei Yemei Yotam''' - A booklet containing a summary of the chronicles of the kings of Israel: Yotam, Achaz, and Chizkiyahu. The name "Divrei Yemei Yotam" was chosen by the Rebbe Rayatz. It was sent as a gift to children who supported Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch. Most of the work has not survived. The parts that did survive were printed in "Kerem Chabad" issue 3.
* '''Hoda'ah Meforetet''' - A booklet in Hebrew and German reviewing the history of Tomchei Tmimim yeshivas in general and Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch in particular, from 1897 until 1910 when the booklet was printed. The booklet was originally intended for wealthy supporters abroad.
* '''Ha'Ach''' - A Chabad children's weekly that was published in Russia from 1910 until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, with the goal of enhancing children's education.
