The Avner Institute presents a newly released photo of Zalman Shmerling from Tel Aviv presenting the Rebbe with the new edition of a book listing all the descendants, living and dead, of the Alter Rebbe.
The date for this Picture is the night of Erev Rosh Hashono before 5741. When Shmerling gave the Sefer Hatzetzoim to the Rebbe, the Rebbe told him to say Lechaim, seems like he didn’t catch on right away, so the Rebbe pointed to the picture of the Alter Rebbe on the cover and said: “Der Alter Rebbe Haist Aich Zogen Lechaim!”

To #3, #4 — Thanks for your replies. I think I may have found it online at hebrewbooks.org; about 500 pages, compiled by Rav Shmuel Elazar Heilfron
i have 2 copies at home and a older version printed in 1920. very cool seforim
Only a limited amount of copies were sold in stores, the rebbe sent it to many eineklach around the world who have copies to this day.
Is the Sefer still available? If so, where can it be found?
