Buyer's premium:

Lengthy letter handwritten and signed by the Divine Kabbalist Rabbi Eliyahu Guttmacher of Greiditz, addressed to his son Rabbi Zvi Hirsch author of Nachat Zvi and the Ken Meforeshet commentary (which is considered a Segulha) with Blessings for Passover – Greiditz, 1863. 

The Yiddish letter contains varied family matters and apparently was never published. At its end, the great father signs: "דברי אביך המעתיר בעדכם ומברך בשמחת יו"ט ורב טוב תמיד" וחתימת יד קדשו: "הק’ אלי’ במוהר"ש זצ"ל חופ"ק גריידיץ".


[1] leaf written on both sides, small dense script. Fifty lines handwritten by Rabbeinu. 13X22 cm. Very good overall condition. 

Please refer to Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of Der Greiditzer Tzaddik, Rabbi Eliyahu Guttmacher of Greditz and of his eldest son, Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Guttmacher.
