Two Interesting Letters Regarding the Admo"r Rabbi Baruch of Munkacs and the Illness of his Second Wife - the Rebbetzin, and his Son the Admo"r of Dinov
Two interesting letters regarding the Admo"r Rabbi Baruch of Munkacs and the illness of his wife, a daughter of the Admo"r the Minchat Elazar of Munkacs, who became ill in 1944 and passed away in 1945. And also regarding their son, the Admo"r Rabbi Yitzchak Ya'akov Rabinowitz, the Admo"r of Dinov.
* Letter written and signed in the hand of Rabbi Ya'akov Moshe Charlop from 1945, telling his son, who served as rabbi of Rishon L'Tziyon, to support and assist the Admo"r of Munkacs and his wife the rebbetzin, "While my close friend the gaon and tzaddik, the Admo"r of Munkacs shlit"a is with you ... especially in that he is a surviving remnant of the killing valley of our brethren, the Jewish people, and his wife, the rebbetzin, the only daughter of the rabbi of Munkacs, ztzuk"l, who has become ill with a harsh disease costing her approximately 80 liras a month ...
* Family letter from the Admo"r of Zaloshitz, Rabbi Yehudah Frankel, to his cousin, the Admo"r Rabbi Baruch of Munkacs [both were grandsons of Rabbi Moshe of Komárno], in which he writes, "To my relative and son-in-law ... the Admo"r of Munkacs, to the members of his household, the rebbetzin, in all our names, may the Healer of the ill send His help  for a complete recovery from the Garden of Eden without any delay to the righteous rebbetzin ... and I beg you to deliver my heartfelt regards to the lovely and clever boy R' Yankele [the Admo"r of Dinov, shlit"a]  for long days and years, from me, his fetter (uncle), because I miss him very much ..."
The Admo"r Rabbi Baruch Rabinowitz  fled to the Land of Israel during the Holocaust via Budapest. During his stay in Budapest, he risked himself with the Hungarian authorities to save thousands of Jews, including by obtaining certificates for Polish Jews so that they could enter Hungary. In 1944 his wife, a daughter of the Admo"r the author of Minchat Elazar of Munkacs, became ill, and she passed away in 1945. After her passing, Rabbi Rabinowitz ceased functioning as an Admo"r, including of the Munkacs Chassidim. The letters before us are from the period he still served as Admo"r of Munkacs, from 1944, about half a year before the passing of his wife, the rebbetzin. It is very interesting that Rabbi Charlop, who was the foremost disciple and successor of Rabbi Kook, writes words of admiration about the Admo"r Rabbi Baruch of Munkacs, and also about his father-in-law the Minchat Elazar of Munkacs.
