Letter of Mazel Tov for the birth of a granddaughter with pure blessings handwritten by the famed holy Rav Rabbi Yehuda’li Horowitz of Djikov with regards to the holy Rav of Vizhnitz Monsey. 

In the letter, which was sent to the famed Chassid Rabbi Yosef Steinmetz of New York, the holy Rav Rabbi Yehuda’li blesses the grandfather for the birth of his granddaughter: לברכו בברכת מזל טוב ויה’’ר מלפני אבינו שבשמים יתב’’ש [=יתברך שמו] שתזכה לגדלה לתורה לחופה ולמעשים טובים מתוך הרחבת הדעת ומתוך רוב שמחה כנפשו ונפש ידידו הדורש שלומו וטובתך באהבה יהודא הורוויץ’. 

Rabbi Yehuda’li also sends his regards to his brother-in-law’s son, Rabbi Mordechai, the future Admor of Vizhnitz Monsey, author of Torat Mordechai:  פ’’ש לש’’ב הגה’’צ מוהר’’מ שליט’’א [=פרישת שלומים לשאר בשרי הגאון הצדיק מורינו הרב מרדכי].

The holy Rav and wonder-worker Rabbi Yehuda Horowitz of Djikov ‘Rabbi Yehuda’li Djikover’ [1905-1989], the son of Rabbi Alter Yechezkel Eliyahu of Djikov, the son and son and successor of the Aterest Yeshu’ah of Djikov. His mother, Chava, was the daughter the holy Rav the Ahavas Yisroel of Vizhnitz and Rabbi Yehuda’li was his leading disciple. By his first marriage, he was the son-in-law of his uncle the holy Rav the Imrei Chaim of Vizhnitz. 

Despite many pleadings, he refused to establish a Chassidic court. He lived in Jerusalem and served as Ram and Mashpi’ah of the Beis Yosef Zvi Dushinsky Yeshiva. In his old age, he moved to London.
