History

On the tenth of Tevet 5551 (1991), in the words given by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson to his followers, he referred to the words of rabbis in Israel who were concerned with condemning non-religious Jews, and explained that such an occupation is not acceptable and even contrary to the requirements of Judaism. On this occasion he elaborated on the virtue of Israel. Following this, Rabbi Tovia Pels of Kfar Chabad decided to publish the words in Israel as well, and distributed the printout of the conversation that appeared in the Kfar Chabad newspaper and in thousands of copies throughout the country.

Since then, he began to regularly publish the weekly Torah words of the Lubavitcher Rabbi in a publication called "Daver Malchot".

After several weeks, the Rebbe ordered to come to talks with the management of the official book publishing house of Chabad - Kehot, so that the booklet would be published officially, with the publishing logo and its cover page.

In 12 Bayer 1591, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson distributed to the audience in his Beit Midrash the booklet 'Dvar Malchus'. The publication included conversations from the Rebbe about matters of Messiah in the Torah of the Rambam. The publication was released on the occasion of the lanniversary of his brother, Rabbi Israel Aryeh Leib Schneerson.
