Tuesday July 9th 12pm New York Time
APPEL Judaica Auctioneers will have an incredible Chabad Auction.
The Auction will feature 70 lots of various items including Letters, kuntreisim, early Chassidus, Lag B’omer Coins and a piece of wood from the Rebbes first Shtender.
The following is a few items of particular interest:
Early Chassidus:
Torah Ohr with the Maamar HaHitbonenut Printed in Lvov, 1851.

The Second edition Torah Ohr of the Baal HaTanya, printed in Zhitomir by the famous Shapiro Brothers in 1862 and includes the first edition of Hosafos.
https://www.appelauction.com/auction/246-special-chabad-sale-en/lot-5-torah-or/
A Likkutei Torah for the 3 Parshiyot, of the Baal HaTanya, a very rare edition as it was printed with Gilded ink on the title page, Vilna 1884.
Tanyas:
There are seven early editions of the Tanya from 1872 through 1940, along with three Tanya’s that were personally distributed by the Rebbe.

Kuntreisim:
Of noted importance are six Kuntreisim distributed by the Rebbe, with the usually missing dollars that were included to be given for Tzedakah by the Rebbe.
The same edition as the Rebbes Siddur:
An exceedingly rare and sought after Siddur Torah Or – Brooklyn, 1941
This Siddur was edited by the Rebbe Upon Arriving in the United States in the Summer of 1941. This edition of the Siddur was always used by the rebbe, it was always at his side as was seen by people who were around in 770 in those days and in the many pictures taken of the Rebbe. The Rebbe would use this edition Siddur for Davening and was always at his side by the Farbrengens in the large Shulle downstairs in 770. The Rebbe always used the same siddur, never exchanging it for a different one… as is well-known, preparing this siddur for print was the first project undertaken by the rebbe upon his arrival in the United States… and from that moment, he always Davened from it.

Ksav Yad of the Rebbe:
There is a very special handwritten thank you note to “Rabbi M K Shlita” for sending in a manuscript of the history of the Alte Rebbe. “Many thanx for the opportunity to read”. The manuscript was written by Shaul Eliyahu Westpahn in 1898 and perhaps contained unknown information about the Alte Rebbe.

Letters signed by the Rebbe for various occasions:
A rare unique letter of L’shana Tova wishes signed by Rebitzen Nechama Dina Elul 1953.
https://www.appelauction.com/auction/246-special-chabad-sale-en/lot-40-letter-of/
An unpublished, unconventional letter from the Rebbe regarding a dispute between a husband and wife. “Since it appears that the truth is not as it has been presented to him so far”, he is withdrawing from further involvement in this matter, “The Creator of the world, who watches over each and every individual with Divine Providence, will surely arrange that things will be truly resolved in the best possible way.” 20th of Mar Cheshvon 1956.
An extraordinary letter to Rabbi Menachem Porush A”H of Yerushalayim.
“At any rate, it is perplexing—even to consider the notion that Lubavitch would change its nature to become a partisan matter, while its stance for nearly two hundred years has been precisely the opposite of this.”

The Rebbes Shtender:
The highlight of the auction is a piece of wood from the Rebbe’s first Shtender that he used when he became Rebbe. The Rebbe used his first Shtender from 1951 through 1955, thereafter a new one was made for him.
As can be seen today when visiting the Rebbes Library Museum upstairs in 770, The Rebbes first three Shtenders are there on display. The first Shtender is visibly missing this small piece of wood that fell off in the late 1950’s. A Rabbi K asked Rabbi Hodokov who was the Rebbes personal secretary if he can have this piece of wood. Rabbi Hodokov said since the Rebbe intended to use a new Shtender Rabbi K. could have the piece that fell off. As can be seen in the picture this piece of wood is missing from the right side of the Shtender. A most rare opportunity to have and cherish a piece of the Rebbes first Shtender that he used to Daven at the beginning of his Nesius for Klal Yisroel…

Where did all these items come from? Why would anyone sell such precious items?
Where did all these stuff pop out of?!?
Can anyone explain where all this came from?
I think these belong to the lubavitcher Rebbe
If it does ( DON’T RISK IT) then it’s highly unrecommended to keep bombs in your house… As the Rebbe said about the hei teves Court case
