Long Letter from Rabbi Yechiel HaLevi Epstein, the Admor of Ozharov
Letter in the handwriting and with the signature of the Admor of Ozharov, with instructions for the person preparing his book for print.
Specifications: [4] pages, paper. 19x25 cm.
Unique Features: At several points in the letter, the Admor notes his great weakness which has prevented him from writing. There are several places in the letter where he writes briefly and notes that he cannot continue writing. In the letter he asks "that you meet with a Torah scholar to verify it and ask them to pray for me ... Moshe Yechiel son of Reitza Mirel, " who is "in dangerous condition."
In the letter, there are many instructions for the worker publishing his book to act seriously, without being distracted from the holy work, by fasting, prayer, ritual immersion, charity, receiving blessings from genuine Torah scholars, reciting the entire book of Tehillim on Shabbat, going to the graves of his holy fathers and more, "because this is not just any book ... this is for the public good for the service of G-d ... and if he should put effort into His service with all of his heart and soul ... and know to where these words are reaching, and pray and beg ... that G-d desires that he succeed ... and we should acheive this in the merit of the holy forefathers." He also asks to purchase the books of Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag who "seems to be a wonderful linguist with a wondrous style, " and asks for details about him.
Background: Rabbi Moshe Yechiel HaLevi Epstein [1889-1971], the Admor of Ozharov-Chentchin, was born in Ozharov to his father, Rabbi Avraham Shlomo who served as Av Beit Din and Admor of the city.
