Chilling and emotional letter from rabbinic leader Rabbi Michel Yehudah Lefkowitz, who writes words of strength and encouragement to a Holocaust survivor:
” Considering the tortures, the decrees and the suffering you underwent in the camps of the terrible Holocaust, you survived with Heaven’s help, physical survival. All the more so, survival of the spirit, required withstanding a great test to remain with perfect faith, so I hereby bless [you] with length of many good years of physical and spiritual health and a clear mind …”
The letter is written in his hand, and is signed by him [12 lines].
The gaon Rabbi Michel Yehudah Lefkowitz (1914-2011) was a member of the Council of Torah Sages and one of the rabbinic leaders of the generation, who stood at the breach; he disseminated Torah to thousands.
