Two Letters from Rebbe Chaim Meir Hager, the Imrei Chaim of Vizhnitz – Ca. 1950s
Two letters, with four lines (in each one) handwritten and signed by Rebbe Chaim Meir Hager of Vizhnitz. Brooklyn, 1949; [Tel Aviv?, ca. 1950].
The letters were sent to England, to the Chassid R. Menachem Mendel Schneebalg (later rabbi of the Machzikei HaDas community in Manchester for sixty years). The letters were written by a scribe, and conclude with several lines handwritten and signed by the rebbe.
Letters of blessing and advice on private and familial matters, and congratulations to R. Schneebalg upon his appointment as rabbi. In the letter written in Brooklyn (U.S.), the rebbe relates of his plans to travel back to Eretz Israel directly, without making a stopover in Germany.
Rebbe Chaim Meir Hager, author of Imrei Chaim (1888-1972), second son and successor of the Ahavat Yisrael of Vizhnitz. In 1944, he escaped the Holocaust and immigrated to Eretz Israel. Following the Holocaust, he returned to Grosswardein (Oradea), immigrating in 1947 to Eretz Israel and settling in Tel Aviv. He established the Kiryat Vizhnitz neighborhood in Bnei Brak, and later settled there. He rebuilt the Vizhnitz Chassidic dynasty, and set up its institutions. He was one of the leaders of Orthodox Jewry in Eretz Israel, and a member of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah. His teachings were published in the Imrei Chaim series.
