Letter for a Good Year with Fascinating Personal Family Content by the Admor Rabbi Ben Zion Yehuda Leib Twersky of Hornosteipel - First Day of Selichot
Letter on a letterhead, handwritten and signed by the Admor Rabbi Ben Zion Yehuda Leib Twersky of Hornosteipel, from "The first day of Slichot". Addressed to "My beloved dear sons Rabbi Nachum Shalita and Rabbi Chaim Aharon Shalita...". He opens his letter with a father's blessing "First of all I shall bless them that Hashem Yisborach shower them with all the best and may the upcoming year be a year of complete redemption ... a year of good life, Parnasah and all the best".
Later the Rabbi criticizes one of his sons for not writing to him frequently, indicating a distinguished father's deep concern for his son. The letter also deals with the sending of money and accounts. It ends with his blessing: "May we merit seeing each other ... your father who blesses you with all the best and may they be written and signed in the book of Tzaddikim ... Ben Zion Yehuda Leib".
21.5X20.5 cm. Foxing. The lower part of the paper was gently cut. Good condition.
The Admor Rabbi Ben Zion Yehuda Leib Twersky (1868-1951) was the son of Rabbi Mordechai Dov of Hornosteipel, and son-in-law of the holy Rav Rabbi Yitzchak Yoel of Kontikoziva (grandson of the Tsu’at Chen). Upon his father’s passing on the 22nd of Elul, 1903 he succeeded him in Hornosteipel (Ukraine). In 1939 he travelled to Antwerp and could not return because of the war. He travelled to the United States and settled in Chicago, until his passing in 1951.
