Letter of blessing, with divrei mussar and encouragement for the groom, written and signed by the Admor Rabbi Shalom Moskwoitz of Shotz. 25 lines in his handwriting.

In 1930 he moved to London, he became famous as the Admor of Shotz and was known as a miracle worker. In his will, he guaranteed mercy and salvation for anyone who moved to Israel, took it up oneself to strengthen his mitzvoth, and lit candles. His grave is in a hill of Talpiyot, and he requested in his will that no elegant descriptions of him appear on his gravestone, particularly the word “tzaddik.” Size: 18x11cm, good condition, light defect in the margins with damage to a couple letters.
