Collection of Letters from Prominent Chabad Chassidim - 1924-1947
Collection of letters and handwritten leaves, from prominent Chabad Chassidim, during the tenure of Rebbe Rayatz of Lubavitch, 1924-1947.
1. Interesting letter from R. Alter Simchovitz, addressed to his father-in-law R. Shlomo Zalman Havlin in Jerusalem. Otwock, Poland, Sivan 1924. In the letter, R. Alter describes his financial troubles and health concerns, as well as the difficult economical state of Polish Jewry at that time. He also mentions the persecution and harassment his teacher Rebbe Rayatz of Lubavitch was being subjected to by the Yevsektsiya: "The Rebbe knows no peace… this unique person in his generation, who is wholly devoted to defending G-d’s will… one cannot fathom even a fraction of his absolute dedication…".
R. Chaim Alter Nisan Shimon Simchovitz (1890-1939), prominent disciple of the rebbes Rashab and Rayatz of Lubavitch. A spiritual mentor in the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva in Warsaw, and later in the Torah Emet yeshiva in Jerusalem. He worshipped G-d with extraordinary devotedness, and edified many disciples.
2. Arbitration agreement regarding financial claims made by R. Chaim Naeh against the Torat Emet yeshiva, signed by R. Baruch Mordechai Ettinger, R. Yitzchak Avigdor Enda shochet and bodek, and R. Yitzchak Avigdor Orenstein. Jerusalem, Shevat 1936.
3. Two letters addressed to R. Shlomo Zalman Havlin in Jerusalem, regarding the running of the Torat Emet yeshiva (presumably from a member of the management of the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva in Lubavitch). Lubavitch, Shevat 1912 - Elul 1926.
4. Three leaves (5 written pages), transcript of writings found in the Kherson genizah.
5. Letter (or draft letter) written by a Chassid to Rebbe Rayatz of Lubavitch. The letter is unsigned. Brooklyn, New York, 1947.
[10] leaves (14 written pages). Overall good condition. Size varies.
