Letter from the Admo”r Rabbi Shalom of Schatz with the addition of three lines in Admo”r’s hand and with his signature. London, 1955. The Admo”r added blessings and new year’s greetings.
The Admo”r Rabbi Shalom Moskowitz of Schatz [1958-1877], a scion of the maggid of Zlotchov, was a hidden Torah master in the revealed and the hidden [aspects of Torah] and halachah, and he authored halachic works. In his youth, he was rabbinically ordained by the Maharsha”m of Berzan, who was effusive in his praise for him. In 1929, he moved to London, and became famous as the Admo”r of Schatz and known as a wonder-worker. He promised in his will that he will arouse mercy in Heaven for anyone who visits his grave and accepts upon himself to strengthen his mitzvah observance and light candles. His grave has become a pilgrimage site, primarily in Fridays. For more about him, refer to Encyclopedia L’Chassidut III , 661-662.
