Important Content: Letter from the Admo"r of Alexander to the Posek HaDor, the Iggerot Moshe


Beautiful letter with important Chassidic content loaded with sacred blessings from the sacred Admo"r Rabbi Avraham Menachem Danziger of Alexander, Imrei Menachem, to the pillar of Torah instruction, the author of Iggerot Moshe. Bnei Brak, 1977.


In his letter, the Rebbe asks the Iggerot Moshe about an avreich who frequented his home. It can be understood from this letter the subject was a talmid chacham, divorced and somewhat neglected. The Rebbe informs the Iggerot Moshe [in the name of the avreich's father] that the neglect is not a result of financial difficulties, but lack of attention to the matter. As such, the rebbe asks the Iggerot Moshe, "Please influence him regarding all he is lacking, beginning with where he lives, and all that surrounds him, his needs and what he eats ..." and, if possible, to see to the matter of a shidduch for him as well.


Rare and lengthy letter between two leaders of Jewry, Chassidim and (Yeshivish) Lithuanians. It is so fitting that the topic the two leaders of Chareidi Jewry discuss, one in the Land of Israel and one in "Babylon" is their true concern from the depths of their hearts - the physical and emotional health of a divorced Israeli man trying to make his way in America, and finding a shidduch for him!


The Alexander Rebbe concludes this important letter with sacred blessings for the head of the American exile, blessings that were obviously fulfilled, "May Hashem grant [you] long life. May you reach 120 years in goodness and pleasantness, and may your wellsprings burst forth, from a place of tranquility, physical health and good light. With Torah blessings, [your] friend, Avraham Menachem Danziger, son of the gaon, the Rebbe of Alexander, ztz"l."


As an aside, and as an addition to this important letter, the Rebbe added Chassidic "Torah"about the importance of caring for the body and the soul, according to the Ramba"m in Hilchot De'ot. The Rebbe concludes the Torah with a promise: "And one who goes in this way for Hashem's sake will be a servant of Hashem all his days."
