After a Fire You Become Wealthy - The Famed Igeres Kodesh Handwritten by the Rebbe the Tzemach Tzeddek of Lubavitch
Original letter, Igerest Kodesh, handwritten and signed by the Tzemach Tzeddek, citing the words of his grandfather the Admor HaZaken Ba'al HaTanya and the Shulchan Aruch, about the progression of Midos HaElyonos and the awakening of Midas HaRachamim after a fire.
Letter, Igeres Kodesh, whose content is well-known from an additional Igeres, in which the Rebbe the Tzemach Tzeddek intorduces his grandfather's words supporting and comforting the residents of a town which suffered a fire that had almost completely destroyed it.
In this letter, to the residents of Lefliya, the Tzemach Tzeddek writes almost word for word what he wrote to the residents of Disno, which had also suffered a fire. His letter to the residents of Disno was published and the holy Rebbe himself frequently cited it.
This original letter, handwritten by the Rebbe the Tzemach Tzeddek himslef and containing some textual variations compared to the letter to the residents of Disno, was inherited by his holy grandson the Admor the holy Rav Rabbi Shemarya of Bobroisk, the son of the Admor the Maharil of Kopust the Tzemach Tzeddek's son.
Please refer to the Hebrew catalog text for the version of this letter.
The Tzemach Tzeddek added his pure handwritten signature to the letter.
The holy Rav Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson author of Tzemach Tzeddek [1789-1866]. Third leader of the Chabad dynasty. One of the greatest Tzaddikim and Poskei Halachah in his generation, revered and sublime by all great men of the generation. He was raised in the home of his grandfather, the Holy Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the 'Ba'al HaTanya'. He was the son-in-law of his uncle the Mitteler Rebbe the holy Rav Rabbi Dov Ber, and after the passing of his father-in-law succeeded him. His sefer Shut Tzemach Tzeddek hints to his name [מנחם בגימטריא צמח, מענדל בגימטריא צדק]. He authored many additional seforim in Halacha and Chassidus, very deep and extensive.
[1] leaf. 18X11 cm. Originally mounted on an additional ancient sheet of paper from the period. Slight wear almost not affecting the text. On the back o fthe sheet, the notation 'To the Admor of Bobroisk'. Good condition.
