Rare: Letter with Blessings in Yiddish Handwritten by the Admo"r of Gur, Author of Pnei Menachem, in the Name of the Beit Yisrael
"May Hashem help your son experience a complete recovery. May He continue to watch over him. May you have much nachat from him and from the rest of your progeny"
Lengthy and beautiful letter, important and interesting, entirely handwritten and signed by the Admo"r of Gur, Rabbi Pinchas Menachem Alter. Jerusalem, 1965.
Alongside the Pnei Menachem's important blessings for healing and success in his name and in the name of his older brother, the Beit Yisrael, one can observe the Pnei Menachem's deep cheshbonot. He writes to the addressee that he did not tell the Sefat Emet yeshivah's administration about the donation the addressee arranged for it, lest they ask why he turned to the Pnei Menachem at this time, and they discover the secret medical condition mentioned in the letter. The Pnei Menachem also writes that he burnt his letter [for the sake of discretion] immediately after showing it to the Beit Yisrael.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of Rabbi Pinchas Menachem Alter.
