Etz HaChaim, along with a dollar for charity, received from Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Brooklyn, New York: Kehot, 20 Cheshvan, 1990. "Forty years of the Rebbe’s leadership" (1951-1990).
Etz HaChaim is an instructional booklet written by the Rebbe Rashab in 1904 for students of the Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch yeshiva, containing an explanation of the objectives of the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva and the necessity to study the "inner Torah" (Chassidut) in order to succeed in the "outer Torah" and fear of heaven.
On the inside of the cover of the Kuntress and on the accompanying Dollar bill it is written by R’ Chaim Tzvi Konikov:
On The Kuntress: "I have Received this Kuntress along with One Dollar From the Holy Hands of his Honor and Holiness the Admo"r Shlit"a, On the late afternoon of the 20th of Cheshvan, 1990"
On The Dollar Bill: "I have Received this One Dollar along with the Kuntress "Etz HaChaim" From the Holy Hands of his Honor and Holiness the Admo"r Shlit"a, On the late afternoon of the 20th of Cheshvan, 1990"
The booklet was first printed in 1946 and is prefaced by an introduction by his son, the Rebbe Rayatz. Shortly before 20 Cheshvan, 1990, on the 130th anniversary of the Rebbe Rashab’s birth, the booklet was printed anew in a special edition at the behest of the Lubavitcher Rebbe; at the beginning were added a portrait of the Rebbe Rashab and a facsimile of his manuscript.
On 20 Cheshvan, 1990, the Rebbe distributed this booklet along with a dollar bill for charity.
