Special Letter by the Admor Rabbi Ben Zion Yehuda Leib Twersky of Hornosteipel - with Referenes to Maran the Kadosh of Belz - ”איז רחלע אפין קינד!” Lengthy and interesting letter - handwritten and signed by the Admor Rabbi Ben Zion Yehuda Leib Twersky of Hornosteipel  - addressed to his sons in Israel.  Interesting letter sent by the Admor of Hornosteipel to his sons Rabbi Nachum and Rabbi Chaim Asher who lived then in Israel (Rabbi nachum is the publisher of the book Midor el Dor about the genealogy of his forefathers).  In his letter, Rabbeinu complains that they do not send letters more frequently: ”פאר וואס איהר שרייבט זער ווינציג... שרייבט מער באריכות...”. Later, he asks about their health and that of his daughters-in-law and his granddaughter Rachele: ”איז רחלע אפין קינד!” apparently, a granddaughter who was named after hus wife the Rebbetzin Rachel, the daughter of the Admor Rabbi Yitzchak Yoel of Kontikoziva.  At the end of his letter, Rabbeinu asks his sons to write to him about everything happening with them; he also asks to be updated on the well-being of the Admor, Rabbi Aharon of Belz, who had just escaped the Valley of Death and immigrated to Israel: ”שרייבט פין כל פרט ופרט גם פין בעלזער רעבען אין פון אונזער משפחה..”.
