‘לחיים טובים ולשלום’ – a Lechaim Becher, “cup of salvations’, with which the holy Rebbe, Tzaddik Yesod Olam, Maran the holy and pure Admor Rabbi Yoel of Satmer brought abundant salvation and blessings to Klal Yisrael, when he gave out Lechaim. With a holy name engraved on the bottom as a Segula for good sustenance, much success, and assistance from above.
This Becher was used by the Rebbe when he gave out Shirayim from his Lechaim.
A holy name is engraved on the bottom – a Segula for Parnassah! The cup itself is decorated with flower engravings.
It is known that when saying “Lechaim” all the decrees are sweetened. The true Tzaddikim would mention names of those who required succor and salvation when they said “Lechaim”, especially when there was a large crowd.
The luminaries of Chassidus and the Tzaddikim of the generations would say:
‘לחיים. לחיים. לחיים טובים ולשלום. לחיים אלע יודען, זאלן געהאלפן ווערן מיט אלע מיני ישועות און מיט רפואות מען זאל האבן אסאך נחת’ (Lechaim, Lechaim, to good life and peace, Lechaim all Jews, you should be helped with all sorts of salvations and healing and have lots of Nachas), or similar wording and styles to bring on blessings and good influences.
Various Tzaddikim had different customs, such as when they gave a hand while saying Lechaim or when they just acknowledged with a head shake.
The Becher is made of silver. 4cm. high
Small size, good for drinking Lechaim. Clear signs of use. Maker’s hallmark on bottom, and engraved with פא"י. Placed in an artistic frame designed to look like the holy Tziyun in Kiryas Yoel.
