Sharp Letter against Zionism and in Support of Neturei Karta Handwritten and Signed by the Yeshu'ot Moshe of Vizhnitz - Tel Aviv, 1948 - השי”ת יחזק אותם במלחמתם נגד הציונות  (May Hashem Yisborach strengthen them in their war against Zionism) - Extremely rare, anti-Zionist letter handwritten and signed by the Admor Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Hager  of Vizhnitz, author of the Yeshu'ot Moshe, written when Rabbeinu was only 32 years old - Tel Aviv, 1948.  At the beginning of the letter, Rabbeinu expresses his gratitude to his loyal Chassid and confidante for sending the ”Shpitzen” (Shtreimel's tails) which he asked for previously to make a Shtreimel for the wedding of his brother-in-law, Rabbi Moshe Ernester, the son-in-law of the Admor the Imrei Chaim: ”השפיצען הם יקרים מאד אולם מה אעשה הנני מוכרח לקבלם מחמת שהם חסרים לגמר השטראמיל... ותזכה לכל טוב ולכל השפעות טובות...”. Later, Rabbeinu writes historical and extremely rare lines, indicating his unique attitude supporting Neturei Karta which fights the Zionists, despite his being a member of Agudat Yisrael: ”נהניתי מאד מהחומה כ”ג אדר ראשון, הצדק אתם ממש בכל מלה ומלה, השי”ת יחזק אותם במלחמתם נגד הציונות האפיקורסת המביאה עלינו ר”ל כל מיני גזירות קשות...” !!!. Rabbeinu ends his letter with a blessing and prayer: ”השם ירחם עלינו ברוב רחמיו וחסדיו וישפיע עלינו דעת לעבוד השי”ת באמת ובתמים מתוך שמחת כלל ישראל אכי”ר”. After his signature, Rabbeinu invites the addressee to the wedding: ”שתקח חבל בשמחתינו מתוך שמחת כלל ישראל” [1] leaf written completely on one side and 3 additional lines on its verso and his signature ”ידידך הנ”ל”. 18X20 cm.  Fold lines.
