Lot 131:
Letter with interesting content – handwritten entirely by the Admor Rabbi Shlomo Ben Zion Twersky – addressed to his Chassidim in Eretz Yisrael – with details anout his son’s Shiduch.
The Admor sent the letter in response to a letter of blessings he received from the Chernbyl Chassidim for his son’s engagement: "להודיעם מקבלת מכתבם בברכות מז"ט עבוד התקשרות התנאים דבני תש"ח לכל או"א… (תשואות חן לכל אחד ואחד)". The Admor, who became a Rebbe before he was even Bar Mitzvah, begins his letter with reference to his forefathers: ת המכתב פותח האדמו"ר אשר נהיה רבי עוד לפני הבר מצווה, בהזכרת זכרונות אבותיו וזקינו "אוהבי נפשות אבותי הק’ זי"ע ואוהבי נפשי היושבים על התו"ע….". Then he asks his Chassidim in Eretz Yisrael to pray for him at the holy places: "ונא להזכירני לטובה בכל המקומות הקדושים לטובה ולברכה…" The Admor ends his letter with warm blessings: "ונזכה להתבשר בבשרותו טובות ברו"ג כאשר עם לבבי".
