Autograph letter signed by R. Avraham Weinberg, the third Slonim Rebbe, [Białystok], Rosh Chodesh Elul [1929]. At the beginning and end are blessings - ketiva v'chatima tova - for the New Year.
Sent to a Chassid from Eretz Israel who was staying in Vienna for medical reasons. The letter contains details of the travel plans of the Rebbe to the second Knessia Gedola (World Congress) of Agudat Yisrael in the city of Vienna [which took place on the 5th-12th of Elul 1929]. The Rebbe requests that he clarify an issue by R. M. Morgenstern and by R. David Werner, regarding the arrangements for his lodgings while in Vienna. He also requests that his disciple the Chassid wait for him at the train station and lead him to his quarters.
Rebbe Avraham Weinberg (the second) of Baranovichi, author of Beit Avraham (1884-1933) was the son of the author of Divrei Shmuel. From 1916, he jointly led the Slonim Chassidim with his eldest brother R. Yissachar Leib, however the majority of Chassidim followed R. Avraham. He settled in Baranovichi where he established the Torat Chesed Yeshiva. He maintained close contact with his Chassidim in Eretz Israel, which he visited twice. His books, Beit Avraham, are well-known for their profound Chassidic philosophy.
