In connection with the days of Sefirah, the Rebbe urged its author, Rabbi Moshe Nisan Wiener, that the sefer Hadras Ponim Zokon and its contents be disseminated especially during this time of year, for reasons the Rebbe described as “obvious”.
The Rebbe sent his own financial participation ($100!) to encourage that this be done.
The following is published in Igros Kodesh volume 33 page 246 (in response to a book review about sefer Hadras Ponim Zokon in the rabbinical journal Hamaor):
“I am surprised that the article did not mention the number of pages in the sefer, which, in this case, is in itself an advocacy supporting the sefer’s conclusions.
“You will surely make sure that future articles do mention the number of pages.
“Advertise the sefer in Eretz Yisroel (including among the Sephardim, for reasons you can understand).
“It is customary to give a discount to yeshiva bochurim, and to advertise this.”
The Rebbe enclosed a $100 bill and wrote:
“Enclosed please find my participation in all of the above.
“At this time it is even more important to advertise the sefer right away, to annul etc. during the days of sefiras ha’omer, as you can easily understand.
“(Apparently, the Rebbe’s intention was that during sefirah, when men let their beards grow in any case, it is easier for them to be persuaded to continue growing their beards afterward as well.)
To provide support to enable that the Rebbe’s request be fulfilled during this year’s Sefirah period (advertisements are very expensive), please be so kind as to contact Rabbi Wiener at [email protected] or contribute directly on the Donate page at https://www.koshershaver.info.

The following is a quotation from an English language letter from the Rebbe (written to a student of the non-Chassidic Telshe Yeshiva) regarding sefer Hadras Ponim Zokon, dated 12 Teves, 5739:
“I trust you have seen the Sefer ‘Hadras Ponim Zokon,’ whose author is a Talmid of the Mirer Yeshiva, which was published recently, with Haskomos by prominent Rabbonim, on the great significance and the must and importance of growing a full beard. The Sefer includes also Teshuvos beruros by Gedolei Yisroel who had been asked for an opinion in this matter”.
