R. Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson. Rare letter to R. Shlomo Baumgarten. Warsaw! 1935.
Rare typewritten letter signed by the Rebbe RaYaTZ during the period he was in Warsaw, to R. Shlomo Baumgarten regarding the strengthening of family purity in Vienna.
R. Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson (1880-1950), was the only son of R. Sholom Dov Ber (Ra’SHaB). At the young age of 17, he was appointed head of the Tomchei Temimim Yeshiva network. In 1920, upon the passing of his father, he became the sixth Rebbe of Chabad Lubavitch. After constant prosecution and arrest, he was released from Soviet Russia and went to Eretz Yisroel and then to the United States from 1929-1930 after which he returned to Riga, Latvia until 1934. From 1934 until the early part of World War Two, he lived in Warsaw, Poland where this letter was written. He was greatly involved in attempts to strengthen Mitzva observance particularly the Mitzvah of family purity.
R. Shlomo Baumgarten (1904-1982), was a son of R. Yosef Baumgarten Dayan of the Schiff Shul in Vienna. After the war he served as Rov of Khal Torah Eitz Chaim (69) in London where he was greatly revered.
