Kvittel handwritten by Rebbe Moshe Yehoshua Hager of Vizhnitz, with the names of his six children and two grandchildren. Presented to his father Rebbe Chaim Meir of Vizhnitz. Purim [Adar 1961-1962?].
In this Kvittel, the Yeshuot Moshe of Vizhnitz wrote his name and that of his mother to be mentioned in prayer and for blessing: "Moshe Yehoshua son of Margalit"; his wife's name: "My wife Leah Esther daughter of Sashi"; the names of his children: "Yisrael (current rebbe of Vizhnitz), "Sarah" (current rebbetzin of Belz), "Sashi" (current rebbetzin of Satmar), "Hinda" (Rebbetzin Ernster), "Menachem Mendel" (Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Vizhnitz). Under their names, the Rebbe requests to pray for his children "they should be raised easily, with satisfaction and only goodness…".
At the end of the page, an inscription handwritten by his mother Rebbetzin Margalit, wife of the Imrei Chaim: "Purim" (presumably that is when her son wrote the Kvittel to his father).
On the verso, the Rebbe wrote the name of his son-in-law and daughter, the rebbe of Skver and his wife, and their two sons: "David son of Trani, his wife Chaya Chana daughter of Leah Esther… Aharon Menachem Mendel… Yitzchak, they should be raised easily, with satisfaction and only goodness…".
Rebbe Moshe Yehoshua Hager of Vizhnitz, author of Yeshuot Moshe (1916-2012), son of Rebbe Chaim Meir Hager of Vizhnitz, the Imrei Chaim. Already as a young student he served as rabbi in Vilchovitz. In 1944, he escaped the Nazi inferno and immigrated to Eretz Israel. Upon his arrival, he was appointed dean of the Vizhnitz yeshiva, and assisted his father in establishing and expanding the Vizhnitz Chassidism. Following his father's passing in 1972, he succeeded him and led the large court of Vizhnitz Chassidim for forty years. He was renowned for his exceptional diligence, as a holy man and an outstanding servant of G-d. Multitudes flocked to his Tishim, to be inspired by his fiery passion and typical Vizhnitz "sweetness", which enraptured and aroused the crowd. From 1989, he served as president of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah of Agudath Israel. His discourses and letters were published in the Yeshuot Moshe series, nine volumes, including a collection of his lectures on Tractate Pesachim. His sons are Rebbe Yisrael and Rebbe Menachem Mendel. His sons-in-law are the Rebbe of Skver, the Rebbe of Belz, Rebbe Aharon of Satmar and R. Menachem Ernster dean of the Vizhnitz yeshiva.
