"I will Bless those who Bless you ... with Length of Days, Good Years and Joyous Occasions" - Letter with the Admo"r of Lubavitch's Handwritten Addition and Signature, 22 Kislev 1978
Letter from the Admo"r of Lubavitch to his only cousin, Zelda Schneurson-Mishkovsky (known as the poetess Zelda) - a celebrated and famous poetess. Brooklyn, NY.
The Rebbe thanks her for her blessings, and quotes the verse, "I will bless those who bless you" ["ואברכה מברכיך"], that is to say, that she is blessed in return, and not only that, but the addition to the blessing is greater than the original. The Rebbe concludes with his characteristic conclusion in his letters to her: "The letter will be read at an auspicious time at the holy gravesite." He adds the abbreviation, in his handwriting, for "For length of days, good years and joyous celebrations."
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] official stationery leaf, 21 cm. The letter is typewritten, with the addition of several words and letters in the Rebbe's handwriting, and his signature at the end; very fine condition. Fold marks.
