Special! a printed invitation letter with a touching request by the Holy Rabbi Yisrael Sholom Yosef of Bohush and his son-in-law the Holy Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Bohush for the marriage of the son of his brother – the Holy Rabbi Sholom Yosef of Bohush Shpikov – the bridegroom the Holy Rabbi David of Ploitch with the prominant bride Mrs. Bas-Sheva the daughter of the Holy Rabbi Aharon of Azrantz the grandson of the Holy Rabbi Aharon of Chernobyl.
the invitation letter is divided into two parts. In its upper part, a letter by the Holy Rabbi Yisrael Sholom Yosef of Bohush, the second Admor of Bohush, the son of the Sabba Kaddisha the Holy Rabbi Yitzchak of Bohush the eldest grandson of Tiferet Yisrael of Ruzhin.
The Rabbi of Bohush writes: when my son-in-law the Holy Rabbi Mendele Shalita took upon him to raise the sons of his brother the Holy Rabbi Sholom of Shpikov, the orphans with no father or mother, who escaped their home town penniless because of the terrible scandal that was there and came to live with him … I ask all from our community to stand by him and support him… and I shall mention them favorably before G-d and pray for them and their success…
In the second part of the letter, a touching letter by the Holy Rabbi Menachem Mendel the son of the Holy Rabbi David of Bohush and the son-in-law of his uncle the Holy Rabbi Yisrael Sholom Yosef, who raised the orphans including the bridegroom whose invitation is before us the Holy Rabbi David of Ploitch and his brother the Holy Rabbi Yitzchak [the second] of Bohush whose holy Chatzer attracted thousands of Jews and other truth-seekers from Bucharest, Tel Aviv and Bnei Berak.
In his rare letter, the Holy Rabbi Mendel implies that although his brother and his wife had died of typhus, actually the terrible situation, the increasing anti-Semitism is what caused their death: ‘After being persecuted by blood-thirsty savages’.
He ends his letter with blessings and promises that his holy Tzaddik in-law will pray for all the supporters and assistors.
Printed leaf, 21X17 cm. Some wear to the right margins. Showing the name of the printing press in Jassy. The address of Rabbi Mendel appears in foreign letters.
