Letter Handwritten and Signed by the Divrei Shmuel of Slonim
Letter handwritten and signed by the Admor Rabbi Shmuel Weinberg of Slonim, the author of the Divrei Shmuel - written to the Slonim Chassidim about raising funds for the Slonim Chassidim of Tiberius - Mir, before 1915 - has not been published
In the letter, the Divrei Shmuel tells the Slonim Chassidim about the trips he had planned for the upcoming months for raising funds for Eretz Yisroel. He asks the Chassidim to send "Kabalot" from the Chassidim of Tiberius, since without them, it will be difficult for him to raise the funds.
The Divrei Shmuel writes: "אם אמרתי אספרה כמו גודל עומס התלאות מלוחץ דוחק פרנסת אנ"ש שיחי' ומגרעות אשר ניתן לשקלי הקודש א"א לבאר כי רבים הם... ". He then asks the Chassidim: "בכל עת שבת אחים גם יחד יראו נא להזכרם לטובה לישועה ולפרנסה, ובכלל תזכרוני ג"כ לטובה, למען אזכה לעמוד על המשמר לעמוד ולשרת ולעבוד עבודתי ועבודתם בעדם כל הימים לרבות מתוך רוב שמחה".
At the end of the letter, he writes names of Chassidim who need a cure.
