Lengthy, Rare Letter with a General Instruction for Chabad Chassidim with Handwritten Additions from the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Brooklyn, 1967

Lengthy, rare letter with a general instruction for Chabad chassidim from the Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Brooklyn, 1967.

Specifications: [1] leaf, official stationery. 22x28 cm. Typewritten letter with handwritten additions by the Rebbe, and his signature.

In the letter, the Rebbe writes that: "A booklet with an article by the holy Rabbi, my father-in-law, ztzuk"l has been published," and he requests, "All who approach the article should study it with depth befitting the value of its content."

At the end of the letter, the Rebbe adds interesting comments [printed] on almost the entire sentence he wrote in the body of the letter, for example, in the body of the letter, the Rebbe wrote that the above article "was said by my father-in-law forty years ago" to which the Rebbe added in the margins of the letter, "to acknowledge the saying of the sages that a person doesn't understand what his Rabbi has said until forty years have passed." The Rebbe's great genius and mastery of all subjects of the Torah is evident from his comments on every sentence in the body of the letter, where he found support in the sages' words.

Interesting detail: In the letter, the Rebbe mentions the Baal HaTanya's renowned precision "הבא לטהר [one who comes to be purified] ... there is a yud missing in לטהר - to purify others - is assisted (from above)," and later, the Rebbe mentions his grandfather, the author of Tzemach Tzedek, and, as stated, the Rebbe also mentions his father-in-law, the RYY"Tz, and therefore this letter is especially rare, as the Rebbe mentions three previous Admors of Lubavitch - the Baal HaTanya, the Tzemach Tzedek, and the RYY"Tz.

Condition: Fine-very fine.
