Shlomo Zalman Havlin (1877-1936) was a prominent disciple of the Rebbe Rashab of Lubavitch, a leading teacher of Chabad Chassidism in Eretz Israel, founder and head of the Torat Emet Yeshiva in Hebron and in Jerusalem]. The letter ends with two lines handwritten and signed by the rebbe - a blessing signed "Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn".
