”Finef Yorgang fun HaKriah VeHaKedusha". Brooklyn, New York: Kehot / Agudas Chassidei Chabad, 1940-1945. Yiddish and some English.

HaKriah VeHaKedusha, a monthly periodical published from 1940 through 1945 by Agudat Chassidei Chabad. Title at the beginning of the first booklet: "Under the supervision and with the participation of the Lubavitch Rebbe", but from the second booklet, the wording was changed to "with the approval and blessing of the Lubavitch Rebbe"; this title was printed on all following issues. Pasted to the top of the first issue of this volume is a strip of paper printed with the revised version.

The periodical regularly published articles and discourses by the Rayatz, including four famous proclamations in which the Rebbe announced the “L’Altar L’Teshuva L’Altar L’Geula” movement. The mystical column Otiot Porchot appeared in the periodical, comprised incomprehensible words, apparently written by the Rayatz. According to Chabad Chassidim, Heavenly secrets are hidden in these inscriptions; some have been deciphered as foretelling the global events which occurred later, such as the invasion of the Allied Forces of Europe during World War II.
