 Cut Glass Tray with Silver Handle An elegant serving piece used by the Frierdiker Rebbe, featuring a sophisticated cut-glass design and an ornamental silver handle. The Sanctity of a Tzaddik's Possessions In Chabad philosophy (Likkutei Sichot, Vol. 32), a Tzaddik's possessions are ”dwellings of holiness.” Through his spiritual labor, the Tzaddik’s sanctity permeates his physical belongings, leaving them imbued with his essence—”like a soul within a body”—forever. A Rare Blessing for Collectors: The Rebbe famously endorsed the private collection of Chabad artifacts by Rabbi Zalman Gourarie, granting the rare blessing: ”Un farnutsn gezunterheit” (Use them in good health). Source of Blessing: A vital distinction exists between items in the ”Library Scandal” and those acquired legally— such as the items in this catalog . While stolen books were termed a ”ticking time bomb, ” these sacred heirlooms are a profound source of Segulah, light, and merit for their owners.
