Maamarei Admur HaZakein is the central series (approximately 23 volumes)[1] of maamarim — Chassidic discourses — by the Alter Rebbe, comprising all of his discourses that have come down to us, aside from those previously printed in Torah Ohr and Likkutei Torah.
The series began publication by Kehot Publication Society under the leadership of the Rebbe in 1958.
A maamar is a formal Chassidic discourse — a structured, often deep exposition of a verse or concept from Torah, delivered orally by a Rebbe and subsequently transcribed. Such transcriptions are called hanachos (singular: hanacha), and their fidelity varied greatly depending on the transcriber.
Volumes in the Series
Maamarei Admur HaZakein — Hanachos HaR"P
This volume contains the hanachos of Rabbi Pinchas Reizes, who was renowned for his precision and endeavored to record the Alter Rebbe's discourses word for word. Published in 1958, edited by the Rebbe. Additional editions: 1958 (second edition), 1984.
Maamarei Admur HaZakein — Eshalech Liazhna
Printed from a manuscript scroll[2] containing discourses delivered by the Alter Rebbe in Liozna — known as "Eshalech" after the opening words of the first discourse in the manuscript, the discourse beginning Eshalech Lifnei Hashem b'Artzos HaChayyim — spanning the years 1796–1802.[3] Published in 1958, edited by the Rebbe.
In 1982, a supplementary pamphlet to this volume was published.
