The first book the Rebbe edited for print was in English:
101. Young Scholar’s Pocket Calendar for 1942-3,
Containing Daily Lessons and Quotations, Laws and Customs
of Israel, etc.
Afterward he started to oversee publication in Hebrew and
Yiddish:
102. Luach Hayom Yom, Kehot, 1942.
103. Hagadah Shel Pesach Im Likutei Minhogim V’Taamim,
Kehot, 1946.
Aside from the first editions of these books, the Exhibition also
presents:
104. Torah Ohr, with the Rebbe’s notes on the margin.
105. Zohar, with his notes on the margin.
106. Malachi Elyon, with his notes on the margin.

In a special area the Exhibition presents:
112. Four Stenders (prayer-stands) the Rebbe used during
the first years of his leadership.
The first he used approximately between 1950-1955; the
second from 1956-1958; the third from 1959 on.
The fourth was constructed at the training school in Kfar
Chabad, Israel, and sent to the Rebbe together with the first
chartered flight to visit the Rebbe, in the month of Elul, 1962. It
was presented to the Rebbe at a special gathering the Rebbe
arranged in honor of the guests on the Eve of Rosh Hashanah.
On that occasion the Rebbe said a unique speech explaining the
merit of this stand, narrating and explaining the famous story of
how the Mitteler Rebbe asked his illustrious father what he
prayed with on Rosh Hashanah, and the Alter Rebbe answered
him "with the Stender," for everything is G-dliness, since He
alone exists and nothing exists except Him.
Also presented in the Exhibition:
113. Scroll of Haftorot, that was always kept in the Rebbe’s
study on the table of the Rebbe Maharash.
114. Aron Kodesh, holy ark built to hold the above book,
given to the Library for safekeeping by the Rebbe.
115. Aron Kodesh, holy ark hung on the wall, built to hold
the Rebbe’s small Sefer Torah.
This Sefer Torah belonged to the righteous brother printers of
Slavita, who were arrested by the Czarist police and held under
house arrest for many years. While they were detained there
they read from this Sefer Torah.
The Rebbe received this Sefer Torah in 1954, and from then on
it was never out of his hands. He used it for Aliyos he received
and for dancing Hakofos.
The Rebbe also instructed for this Aron Kodesh to be kept in
the Library.

This model was built by Ofer Nadav of Sidney, Australia, and
was presented to the Rebbe while he was distributing dollars.
