Blessing for "Success and Good News" Handwritten by the Lubavitcher Rebbe
"May Hashem bring [you] success. With blessings for success and good news" (from the Rebbe's blessings in this letter)
Letter with double blessings for success! From the Admo"r Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Lubavitch to Mrs. Miriam, on the eve of the Shabbat during which the Torah portion Matot is read - Tammuz, 1980. Brooklyn, New York.
In his letter, the Rebbe encourages the recipient to continue and increase her activities in the Neshei-Chaba"d branch where she lives, and the Rebbe wishes them "May Hashem bring you success." Here the Rebbe repeats his blessing, doubling the blessing for success (among Chassidim, there is significance to multiplicity, an indication of infinite blessing) in his very hand: "With blessings for success and good news, M. Schneerson."
Chassidic elders maintain that a blessing for "success" includes within it all blessings, how much more so a double blessing for success, in the Rebbe's own handwriting!
The Admo"r Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson [1902-1994], seventh in the dynasty of the Admo"rs of Lubavitch, started serving as Admo"r in 1951 and continued until his passing. He was a tremendous gaon in all aspects of the Torah. His net was - and still is - cast across the entire world.
[1] leaf paper, 21 cm. Official stationery, typewritten, with the addition of [2] words in the Rebbe's hand, and with his signature.
