Letter in the Handwriting of the First Dej Rebbe, R. Menachem Mendel Panet, Disciple of the Chatam Sofer - New Year Wishes and Blessings of Success in All Endeavors
Letter handwritten and signed by R. "Menachem Mendel Panet". Dej, Erev Yom Kippur 1879.
Letter containing blessings and good wishes sent to his nephew R. Yechezkel Panet: "Gmar Chatima Tova… G-d should bless you with much success, all your endeavors should succeed and profit, and you should see gratification from your children to raise them to everything good, Torah, fear of Heaven and good deeds".
R. Menachem Mendel Panet, Rabbi of Dej (1818-1885), son of the Rebbe, author of Mar'e Yechezkel (disciple of R. Mendel of Rymanów, served as Rabbi of Carlsberg and of Transylvania). In 1837, he studied at the Pressburg Yeshiva of the Chatam Sofer, and he was the only student there who donned a Chassidic silk garment on Shabbat. His teacher, the Chatam Sofer, was very fond of him and used to walk in conversation with him every Friday [he used to call him the "golden one"]. During the time that he studied at the yeshiva of the Chatam Sofer, he merited a revelation of Eliyahu HaNavi, who greeted him in the Beit Midrash disguised as a pauper. From 1842 he served as Rabbi of Urisor, from 1858 as Rabbi of Dej, and around 1855 was appointed Chief Rabbi of Transylvania. He wrote Maaglei Tzedek on the Torah and the Avnei Tzedek, Shaarei Tzedek and Mishpat Tzedek series of responsa.
