12 Elul 5786

The long hemsheich (series of maamarim) known as "B'sha'a shehikdimu, Te'erav" was begun[1] by my father on the first day of Shavuot 5672 (1912) in Lubavitch. He finished it on the Shabbat of parsha Vayeira 5676 (1915) in Rostov - with the maamar which begins VaHashem amar. The hemsheich contains 144 maamarim.

Extant in manuscript[2] is a second section which he had not delivered orally, and which is not divided into maamarim.

Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.

I.e. the first maamar of the series was delivered as an oral discourse on that day by the Rebbe (R. Shalom Dovber).

Subsequently published by Kehot.

המשך הגדול הידוע בשם "בשעה שהקדימו, תער"ב" התחיל אאמו"ר [אדוני אבי מורי ורבי] לאמרו יום א' דחגה"ש [דחג השבועות] תער"ב בליובאוויטש, וסיימו ש"פ [שבת פרשת] וירא תרע"ו ברוסטוב, במאמר המתחיל וה' אמר המכסה אני מאברהם. ובו קמ"ד מאמרים. ויש בכתובים חלק שני שלא אמרו, ולא נחלק למאמרים.
