Letter (3 pages) handwritten and signed by Rebbe Avraham Twersky of Faltishan. Brooklyn NY, 1977.
Addressed to the philanthropist R. Yehuda Aryeh Leib Rapaport. Interesting letter full of blessings. The rebbe begins by inquiring about the Rapaport family. The rebbe then asks R. Aryeh Leib to visit his son Shalom Meir during his trip to Eretz Israel.
The rest of the letter deals with the financial state of the rebbe's family, after the passing of his father Rebbe Elazar of Faltishan (who passed away in Tammuz 1976). The rebbe concludes with blessings: "…in this merit I'm convinced that the late rebbe will intercede on his behalf, on behalf his wife and entire family, that all your heart's desires be fulfilled for the good and for blessing, and may you see from all your descendants much pleasure and satisfaction in good health, and may you succeed in your business in serenity… Avraham Twersky".
Rebbe Avraham Shmuel Twersky (d. 1984), from the Skver-Belz-Faltishan dynasty of rebbes. He was the only son and successor of his father R. Elazar of Faltishan, who wrote in his testament that his son should succeed him as rebbe.
His son R. Shalom Meir Twersky, mentioned in the letter, currently serves as rebbe of Faltishan. He is the son-in-law of Rebbe David Moshe Rosenbaum of Kretshnif (1925-1969).
[2] leaves (3 written pages), official stationery. 21.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Wear and folding marks.
Enclosed is a kvittel mentioning R. Yehuda Aryeh Leib Rapaport and his family, presumably handwritten by R. Avraham Twersky (he may have written it in the lifetime of his father R. Elazar, when R. Rapaport came to seek his blessing).
