Rabbi Alter Tefliker was the first to initiate the printing of the writings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslav and his student Rabbi Natan in a format divided into different topics. His famous books are Mishivat Nefesh (Lemberg 1872) which deals with the issues of faith, repentance and the service of God, and the outpouring of the soul (Jerusalem 1874) which deals with matters of prayer and solitude, central topics in the Breslav Torah.

His books had a great influence on the followers of Breslav. Some of the leaders of Hasidism in the generations that followed him testified that their first encounter with Breslav's teachings was through his book "The Outpouring of the Soul". In the last generation, his books were printed in many editions and were widely distributed. His other books are: "Amonat Aitach" (Lemberg 1873 with the days of Moharna 1978) - which deals with the virtue of utilizing time, "Or Zarua" (Jerusalem 1877) - a commentary on the Passover Haggadah, "Mili Davot" (Piotrkov Tera d) - On the Tractate of Avot and Commentary "Mi Ha Nahal" (Bnei Brak 5655) on part of the book of Rabbi Nachman of Breslav, Lakoti Moharan. Many of his manuscripts, including traditions and rumors from the elders of the Hasids, as well as other books he prepared for printing, have been lost. Dr. Zvi Marek's book "Secret Scroll: The Secret Messianic Vision of Rabbi Nachman of Breslav" is based on a manuscript by Rabbi Alter Teplikar.
