Three postcards and one short letter, handwritten and signed by Admor the ‘Bircas Avraham’ of Slonim, which were sent to his son, the illustrious Rabbi Mordechai Shlomo Weinberg of Bnei Brak and his family. In most of the letters there is an addition in Yiddish written by the righteous Rebbetzin, Mrs. Hadassah.

The Rebbe’s love, affection, and devotion to each and every one of his descendants is shown clearly in these letters.

Admor the holy Rebbe, Rabbi Avraham Weinberg (III) of Slonim, the ‘Bircas Avraham’ (1888-1981), nephew and distinct disciple of Admor the ‘Divrei Shmuel’ of Slonim. Was head of the Ashkenazi Orthodox community in Tveriah, and stood by his Rebbi, the Chief Rabbi of Tveriyah, Rabbi Moshe Kliers, author of ‘Toras Ha’aretz’ in all matters relating to maintaining the spiritual aspect of the city. Was crowned Admor of Slonim in 1955. Lived most of his life in Tveriah, where he held several public positions. For the last 20 years of his life (ca. 1960 and on) he lived in Yerushalayim, in the Yeshiva building of ‘Beis Avraham – Slonim’ Yeshiva, founded by his son-in-law, the ‘Netivos Shalom’. He was a member of Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudas Yisrael. A wondrous Oved Hashem, known for his diligence in Torah and his immense toil in worship, in his humility and piety, and especially in his enthusiastic prayers, characterized by tears and crying. Many of the speeches he gave dealt with accepting the yoke of Heaven even when there is no will or desire to do so. His speeches and letters were published in the series of Seforim “Bircas Avraham” and “Nachal Eitan”.
