Letter from the Admor Rabbi Itzikl of Pshevorsk

Letter with blessings for recovery from the Admor Rabbi Itzikl of Pshevorsk.

Specifications: [1] leaf, official paper. 20x13 cm. Ten lines in his handwriting and with his handwritten signature. 

The Admor signed his name: the small one Moshe Yitzchak grandson of the rabbi of the entire Jewish people Rabbi Elimelech. 

The Admor Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak Gvirzman of Pshevorsk [1882-1976], was the primary disciple of Rabbi Yechezkel of Shinova, the firstborn son of the  author of Divrei Chaim of Sanz. A scion of the author of Noam Elimelech, which he mentioned in his signature. There were righteous people who saw him as a faithful successor to his illustrious ancestor. Settled in Pshevorsk, and became known as Rabbi Itzikl of Pshevorsk. During the Holocaust he was exiled to Siberia and later returned to Poland, moved to France, and then to Antwerp by instruction of the Admor Rabbi Aharon of Belz. He was known as a miracle worker and thousands of people flocked to him from across the world. He was also known for the charity he gave. Passed away on Yom Kippur of 1976. See his biography in Roeh Even Yisrael [Brooklyn 1989], and some of his Torah thoughts in Siach Yitzchak HaChadash [London 1911]. 

Condition: Fine. Fold marks and creases.
