מלכות שבמלכות! Lengthy letter of condolence with words of support and faith and blessings for Naches from all offspring by the Holy Rav Rabbi Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura (The First) to the son-in-law of his brother Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heschil Or Yehoshua of Mezhibuzh.

About the item:

A rare and important letter, handwritten by a scribe and hand-signed by the holy Rav Rabbi Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura, the second son of the holy Rav of Ruzhin and his successor in Sadigura for 32 years. The letter is a letter of condolence to the son-in-law of his brother the holy Rav Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heschil of Mezhibuzh, the son-in-law of the holy Rav Rabbi Sholom Yosef of Sadigura, the eldest son of the holy Rav of Ruzhin, and to his pious wife the Rebbetzin, who were sitting Shiva on one of their descendants who passed away young.

Letters by the holy Rav Rabbi Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura are extremely rare all the more so, letters he wrote to his contemporary Tzaddikim and Admorim.

Background of the letter:

The letter was sent to the holy Rav Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heschil the son of the holy Rav Rabbi Meshulam Zusha of Zhinkov and great-grandson of the holy Rav of Opatow and to the Rebbetzin, the granddaughter of the holy Rav of Savoran and to the pious Rebbetzin Mrs. Leah Rachel the daughter of the holy Rav Rabbi Sholom Yosef of Sadigura, whose family member had passed away young. Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heschil was also the in-law of the holy Rav Rabbi Avraham Yaakov since his son the holy Rav Rabbi Yisroel Sholom Yosef of Mezhibuzh was the son-in-law of the holy Rav מהרא"י מסא"ג.

Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua was then living in Mezhibuzh, succeeding his fathers. His sons the holy Rav Rishi of Mezhibuzh and Rabbi Yitzchak Meir of Kopitshnitz succeeded him.

His holy book Or Yehoshua was published from a manuscript by his grandson and successor the holy Admor of Kopitshnitz at the Siftei Tzaddikim institute.

Following is the full text of the letter:

ב"ה כ"א אדר תרלזיין ס"ג [= תרל"ז סאדיגורה]

רב חיים וברכה ישועה ונחמה לכבוד ח"א ומחו’ [=חתן אחי – הרה"ק רבי שלו’ יוסף ומחותני – הרה"ק רבי ישראל שלו’ יוסף בהרה"ק ראי"ה ממעזיבוז’ היה חתן הרה"ק רבי אברהם יעקב מסאדיגורה]

יקירי הרב החסיד המפורסם פרי קודש הלולים חו"פ גזע תרשישי עליונים מו"ה יהושע העשיל

שליט"א

The first oart of the letter is dedicated to sympathy, faith and confidence in Hahsem and words of comfort:

הנה נודעתי מן השבר אשר קרה אתכם ר"ל ומאד דאבה נפשי בצערכם עתה הנני בזה לנחם אתכם ואבקש את כ"ת לבל יוסיף עצב ולהסיר התוגה מלבבו וכמו כן יזהיר את זוגתו היא ב"א הרבנית

תחי’ בשמי להסיח דעתה מן היגון כי חלילה להרהר אחר מדותיו יתברך ד’ נתן וד’ לקח.

In the second part of the letter, the Rebbe writes to accept the suffering with love, explaining the verse: באלוקים אהלל דבר – בה’ אהלל דבר’ :

ותראו להתחזק ולהתאמץ לבטוח בה’ בנחמתו ובישועתו.

ואקוה אשר בזכות באלקים אהלל דבר ינחם אתכם השי"ת בכפלים וישמח את לבבכם מהרה אשר תזכו להודות על הטובה בד’ אהלל דבר.

In the third part of the letter, the Rebbe showers them with blessings for Naches from their offspring:

כי מעתה אך טוב וחסד ישכון באהליכם ותראו רוב נחת בבניכם ובנותיכם היקרים שיחי’ ובדורות ישרים יבורכו חיים עד העולם כאות נפשכם ונפש דו"ז מחו’ ידידו הדו"ש באהבה חפץ באושרכם וטובתכם כל הימים המעתיר בעדכם ובעד כלל ישראל לטובה ולברכה

אברהם יעקב במוהר"ר ישראל
