At the beginning of part 1 a preface from the publisher – the author’s son, Rabbi Yehuda Leib Shneerson, who writes: “and we named the Sefer ‘Magen Avot’ for that is the numeric value of his holy name Shlomo Zalman” (502), the publisher quotes his father, the author, regarding the extreme preciseness and the strictness on keeping the style of his ancestors and Rabbis: “I am careful not to change from the golden tongue of my grandfather, master and teacher (the Tzemach Tzedek) OBM, who had kept the golden tongue of the Alter Rebbe OBM, as he received it from the Rav the Maggid (of Mezritch) and he from the Ba’al Shem Tov. And when I keep my grandfather’s golden tongue, I speak with the holy words of all those of our Rabbis ZT”L”.
Rabbi Chaim Meir Heilman (author of “Beis Rebbi”), from the Chassidim of Chabad-Kopust, had a part in proofreading and printing the Sefer.
