Letter from the Atzei Chaim, Rebbe of Sighet - With One Line in His Handwriting and with His Signature
Letter from Rebbe Chaim Tzvi Teitelbaum, author of Atzei Chaim, rabbi of Sighet. Sighet (Sighetu Marmației), [1912].
Addressed to R. "Yitzchak Aharon of the Kollelot of Jerusalem", regarding the distribution to those supported by Kollel Sighet in Jerusalem, which at that time was headed by the rebbe. Written by a scribe, with one line handwritten and signed by the rebbe: "His friend, who seeks his wellbeing with great love, Chaim Tzvi Teitelbaum".
Rebbe Chaim Tzvi Teitelbaum, author of Atzei Chaim (1880-1926), son of Rebbe Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Teitelbaum, the Kedushat Yom Tov. In 1904, he succeeded his father as rabbi of Sighet and as rebbe of the Sighet Chassidic court. He was the son-in-law of Rebbe Shalom Eliezer Halberstam of Ratzfert son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz. He frequented the courts of the Tzaddikim of his generation, in particular his uncles Rebbe Yechezkel Shraga of Shinova and R. Baruch of Gorlitz, as well as Rebbe Yehoshua of Belz. He was an outstanding Torah scholar, exceptionally holy and G-d-fearing. Reputedly, he never forgot anything he learned, and he was renowned from his great perspicacity. Shortly following his appointment at the age of 24 (!) as rabbi and rebbe of Sighet (capital of the Maramureș county), he became known as one of the leaders of Hungarian Jewry, who established the national policies of the Orthodox bureau of the country. He had a great impact over almost all Orthodox communities in Hugnary, whether in Chassidic or Ashkenazi circles. His opinion bore weight regarding the appointment of rabbis, dayanim and shochetim, especially in communities with a dominant constituency of Sighet Chassidim (Sighet was the largest and principal Chassidic court in Maramureș). He was the older brother and prime teacher of Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar.
