Explicit Blessing for Wealth from the Lubavitcher Rebbe - "Letter of Wealth" the Likes of which has Never been Seen!


"The promise that you become wealthy - in its most basic meaning - with silver and gold"!


Extremely rare letter of abundance, the likes of which has never been seen, full of verses from beginning to end, blessings and promises of wealth, backed with halachic rulings and sayings by our sages as interpreted in their basic and Chassidic meanings. Public letter from the Admo"r Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Lubavitch to the administration of the Chassidishe gema"ch in Bnei Brak. Rosh Chodesh Adar I 1964. Brooklyn, New York.


As state, this letter deals entirely with issues of finances and abundance, from the letter on which it was written (Rosh Chodesh Adar), when the shekalim are mentioned (appearing later in the letter) through its conclusion. The Rebbe deals with this topic along many parts of the letter and the word shekalim appears on almost every paragraph, sometimes more than once. Later on, there are dozens more words of abundance, such as: silver, profitable, children, sustenance, wealth, success, check, and many more.


We cannot mention every word of abundance and blessing in the letter, as the entire thing deals with it, and we would have to copy it all, word for word. We therefore request that our esteemed readers refer to the attached photocopy and enjoy the view - the sacred words of the Rebbe for the Chassidic activists, about the mitzvah of charity and its great reward, with an emphasis on gema"ch loans!


However, we must point out the rare and very explicit blessing-promise from the Rebbe at the end of the letter, in the following words, for children, sustenance and long life: "Performance of the mitzvah continues downward to supply a person with all his needs from children and life to sustenance  (לחם - צומח) through the fulfillment of the promise, that you become wealthy - in its most basic meaning - with silver and gold ... all the above (for children, sustenance and long life) with expansiveness"! Is there any blessing/promise greater than this?! Incidentally, next to the word "sustenance" that symbolizes material abundance, the Rebbe added a line - abundance in his hand.


Aside from the exceptional blessings, which can function as an expert amulet for livelihood and wealth, the Rebbe, in his letter addressed to the gema"ch administration of the Chassidim in Bnei Brak, the sheet expands abut the mitzvah of tzedakah and the abundance it brings, to the extent that this letter can even be considered a true Chassidic essay on the subject. As was the Rebbe's way for important letters, in the margins of the letter, after his signature, the Rebbe indicates halachic, Kabbalistic and Chassidic references for the topics discussed in the letter.

[1] leaf paper, 28 cm. Typewritten on the Rebbe's official stationery, with the addition of many punctuation marks in the Rebbe's own hand, and concluding with his signature.
