Touching Chassidic Letter Handwritten by the Admor of Chernobyl Rabbi Meshulam Sussia Twersky - Jerusalem, 1953 - Letter with touching Chassidic content by one of the important contemporary Admorim of Eretz Yisrael - Rabbi Meshulam Sussia Twersky, the Admor of Chernobyl, the father of the Admorim of Chernobyl Shlita and the in-law of the Admor of Kretshnif and Maran the Admor of Vizhnitz Shlita. Jerusalem 1953 The letter was sent to Rabbi Moshe Kamlehr. In it, the Admor pleads for his help towards the upcoming High Holidays: ”אבקש מאד את כת”ר בתור ידיד של אבוה”ק שיואל נא הפעם לעזור לי בעזרה יותר חשובה... ולהחיות את נפשותנו בימי החגים”. The letter reveals the difficult situation of even the leading Admorim of Eretz Yisrael in those years; the Rebbe, the successor of the glorious Chernobyl dynasty, was living in actual poverty.  Yet, it is precisely before the break of dawn that the darkness is at its deepest. Indeed, not long after this difficult period, in 1959, the Rebbe relocated to Bnei Berak and established his Beit Midrash there. Before long, multitudes of Chassidim and those seeking blessings gathered around his court; the Chernobyl Chassidut in the Eretz Yisrael began to flourish, including financialy.  The Rebbe, whose blessings worked wonders for thousands, writes his blessing ”שיתברך בשנת חיים טובים שנת ברכה והצלחה”.  *** Rabbi Meshulam Sussia Twersky, the Admor of Chernobyl [1910-1988] the son of the Admor Rabbi Chaim Yitzchak of Chernobyl, a direct descendant of the Meor Einayim.
