"As the Minchah is Brought on the Eve of Sukkot" - Rare Letter with Blessings from the Lubavitcher Rebbe
Letter with blessings from Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Lubavitch, written at a very lofty time: "As the minchah is brought on the eve of Sukkot." 14 Tishrei, in the afternoon, 1964. Brooklyn, New York.
That very day, the Rebbe completed shivah for his mother, Rebbetzin Channah z"l, and in his general letter to the Chassidim in Bnei Brak, he showers them with consolation and blessings for imminent redemption. The Rebbe adds blessings for success in the margins of the letter: "With a blessing for good news and a happy holiday."
'There is no beit midrash without some innovation.' This letter incidentally teaches that despite the letter's not being sent until after Sukkot (as noted on the handwritten inscription in the margins of the letter) - as it was, in any case, written on the afternoon of the 14th, which would have made it impossible to reach its destination in Bnei Brak before the holiday, barring a miracle, the Rebbe still blesses the recipients in the margins with the blessing "Chag Shameach!"
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the Admo"r Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
[1] leaf paper, 28 cm. Typewritten on the Rebbe's official stationery with the addition of one word handwritten by the Rebbe and with his signature.
Fine condition.
