Letter acknowledging receipt of Maamadot funds sent by the young Torah scholar R. Moshe Meir Kirschenbaum, with many blessings: "…and I hereby wish to bless him, may he be blessed from the Source of blessings and salvations, with all good things, only goodness and kindness shall pursue him always, and may G-d fulfill all his heart's desires for the good". The letter continues with guidance for studying Torah with diligence: "He must remember and think carefully, since diligence and assiduity in Torah study bring many benefits, and it is a shame for the wasted time, and great is study which brings to action, and one must expend great effort in practical study of Shulchan Aruch, and may we experience salvation with much good, and celebrate the festival of matzot in happiness, joy and kashrut…". The letter concludes with additional blessings handwritten by the Rebbe, with his signature: "…and blesses him with success in spiritual and material matters, Avraham Elimelech son of the Tzaddik".
Rebbe Avraham Elimelech Perlow (1891-1942, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut, I, p. 57), most prominent of the six sons of Rebbe Yisrael, the Yenuka of Stolin (known as the "Frankfurter"). Most of his father's Chassidim in Russia and Eretz Israel followed him, and so as to avoid disputes with the Chassidim of his brother Rebbe Moshe of Stolin, he established his court in Karlin, near Pinsk. He founded the Karlin yeshiva in Luninets. He visited Jerusalem several times. His last visit to Eretz Israel coincided with the outbreak of WWII. When he heard that the Nazis had invaded his town, he wished to return there to be with his community. His Chassidim tried to dissuade him from doing so, but he insisted and travelled back on the last ship leaving Eretz Israel for Europe. He perished in the Holocaust together with his descendants.
