Rabbi Aryeh Leib Friedman (1903 - 1993) was a servant of God and founded a network of bei mussar (religious schools) in the Land of Israel. He wrote the book Tzedekat Tzadik and was friends with the Rebbe. In 1918, after the Rebbe Rayatz left Russia for Riga, Rabbi Friedman wanted to meet with him. He traveled especially and by dangerous routes to Riga, and due to the weakness of the Rebbe Rayatz, the meeting did not take place. At the time, the Rebbe was in Riga, and they discussed Torah. Rabbi Friedman later said that all his great difficulties to get to Warsaw were worth it just for this meeting. From the very beginning of the Rebbe's career as president of Chabad Hasidism in 1951, Rabbi Friedman was interested in the Rebbe's teachings and devoted much time to studying and reading his speeches and articles. When the Rebbe's recordings were broadcast live, he would try to get into the Chabad apartment complex in Jerusalem to listen. He often prayed in the Chabad synagogue, and especially came to hear the Daach sermon at the third Shabbat meal. He participated in Chabad religious activities, even at the end of his days, when he was in great difficulty. Rabbi Friedman corresponded frequently with the Rebbe. In a letter dated 16 Elul 5710, the Rebbe writes to him at length about how the letter Tzadik is written according to the Arizal , and how this is correct in Revelation and Kabbalah . The Rebbe doubts that the Gra's opinion actually corresponds to what he quotes, especially since it contradicts the explicit writings of the Arizal [3] : ”But I do not have the aforementioned book.” But where in the language is the hint that this is an inverted Yod? But in the book Ketu Chaim, the writer Rabbi Avraham Chaim of Minsk (Vilno 1918) writes that he heard from Rabbi Elazar Moshe of Monastyrschina in the name of the Gra that the version in Zohar Part 1 (2, 2) refers to Esther, not to Ahori. And the author concludes that this is true in the opinion of the House of Shmuel and the House of Yosef and the Gra in practice In 1918, after the Rebbe Rayatz left Russia for Riga, Rabbi Friedman wanted to meet with him.
