Two leaves handwritten by the Rebbe, Rabbi Avraham Weinberg, on matters of Kabbala and Hassidism.
Rabbi Avraham Weinberg (1803-1883), the disciple of the Rebbe Rabbi Noah of Lachovitz and Rebbe Moshe of Kobrin. After the death of Rebbe Moshe of Kobrin in 1858, most of the Lachovitz-Kobrin Chassidim followed the leadership of his most outstanding follower, Rabbi Avraham Weinberg, who established his court in the city of Slonim. He authored, among others, the books "Yesod Ha'Avodah", "Be'er Avraham", "Chessed Le'Avraham" and "Torat Avot". He was known for his special connection to the Land of Israel and was the president of the Reisin Kollel. He even sent three of his younger grandsons to the Land of Israel when they were thirteen. His grandson, Rabbi Shmuel Weinberg, the "Divrei Shmuel" succeeded him as Rebbe.
The content of the leaf was most likely printed in one of his books.
