— Great are the righteous who are like roots and stand above – before Hashem, and their prayers are mercy and pleas for all those who support Chibot HaKodesh —
Rare letter with historical content laden with rare blessings for abundance of livelihood and for all matters, by the sacred Rabbi Avraham Weinberg author of Yessod HaAvodah and the founder of the splendid Slonim dynasty. Scribal script, with the handwritten signature of the Admo”r. [1877].
The letter deals with supporting institutions and families of Chassidim who immigrated to the Land of Israel by the order of the Admo”r, settling in Tiberius.
The Admo”r begins his rare letter with lofty blessings “An abundance of blessing and peace … may their hands be full of G-d’s blessing for livelihood and for children, health and sustenance, from Heaven dew will bring blessings , and from the fatness of a blessed earh [?] to all our beloved people and their dear ones, the pious and complete and charitable … they and those who accompany them, may Hashem fulfill all their wishes for the better and may they merit the coming of Go’el Tzeddek speedily in our days, amen “.
In the letter, the Admo”r appeals to the open-hearted asking them to support his important insitutions in Tiberius, which he takes pride in. Later, he expounds on Chassidic ideas about the importance and great power of the Mitzvah of charity. He ends his letter “… he who sends his regards with love and affection, Avraham Beharav R’ Y”M Z”L “. The signature was handwritten by the Admo”r himself.
