“May Hashem have mercy on [you] and grant [you] a long life of peace with a quick recovery, in body and soul, among the sick of the Jewish people”
Extraordinarily rare Chassidic amulet, an expert amulet that indeed worked as desired and granted its owner extremely long life! The entire amulet [21 words] was written by the renowned wonder-worker, the Admo”r Rabbi Eliezer Zusha Portugal of Skulin, who, in order to empower the amulet’s spiritual capabilities, pasted it, with his very own hands, into the most important Chassidic segulah book,
Noam Elimelech (the copy the Rebbe himself studied from!) and gave it in this way to the person who requested this salvation.
In 1961, the Admo”r Rabbi Eliezer Zusha Portugal of Skulin arrived for the first time for a regal visit to the Land of Israel. During his visit to Rechovot, an ill person came to him for a blessing (the patient’s name is at the auction house) and described his difficult illness to him, and that doctors have almost despaired of his life. The Skulener Rebbe, with a love for his fellow Jew equaling his Torah greatness and devotion to Hashem, could not withstand the tears of his sick petitioner, who was quite simply begging for his life. Although Chassidic leaders very rarely wrote amulets, the Rebbe took a piece of paper, and wrote out this sacred and awesome amulet: “May Hashem have mercy on [you] and grant [you] a long life of peace with a quick recovery, in body and soul, among the sick of the Jewish people, ” using several abbreviations. This is typical of Chassidic amulets, which hint at Name combinations and abbreviations, like this amulet, which ends with ‘ח”י’, an abbreviation with a double-meaning. After that, the Rebbe took the renowned Chassidic segulah book that was on his desk, and glued the amulet to it on the inner part of the front binding and gave it to the petitioner. Needless to say, after this, said patient recovered completely and is living a long life! This man is still alive and amongst us, over sixty years after receiving this amulet, may he live to 120! Chassidim call this type of phenomenon “a Ba’al Shem’ske ma’aseh: – that is, a wonder-story befitting Shibchei HaBesh”t .
