Blessings for healings and salvations ”beyond nature” in the handwriting and signature of the Admor, the wondrous Mekubal Rabbi Yechezkel Fisch of Mattesdorf HY”D – winter 1939. Postcard in the handwriting of the Admor and his son, HaBachur Eliezer. Most of the present postcard was written to his distinguished disciple Rabbi Shmuel ben Fradil, and deals with matters of doctors, medical treatments and hospitalizations, treatments and diagnoses, etc. At the end of the postcard, the Admor, the righteous Tzaddik, showers blessings and words of encouragement and trust in abundance: “And regarding the apartment, trust in Hashem and you shall see wonders according to the measure of your trust. Therefore, be strong and strengthen yourself, and strengthen also all your household with trust, and inform us of good tidings. Especially in these days, the main thing is strength of trust, for the trials have increased beyond measure and without limit.” He concludes his letter with a blessing for salvation in marrying off his daughter: “And may Hashem help you with this beyond nature… and may you all be saved with all kinds of salvations.” The Holy Admor, Harav HaKadosh Rabbi Yechezkel Fisch of Mattesdorf (1885–1944) — son of Harav HaKadosh Rabbi Aharon Yeshayah Fisch, Av Beis Din of Hadas, and son-in-law of Rabbi Yisrael Waldman of Borsa (descendant of the “Bnei Yissaschar” and Harav HaKadosh of Zidichov). After the passing of his father in 1928, he succeeded him and moved to reside in Mattesdorf. He became known as an extraordinary Oved Hashem in Chassidus and asceticism, and with tremendous fervor and self-sacrifice, through mortifications and fasts. He engaged extensively in the study of Kabbalah with great depth according to the approach of Komarno and Zidichov. During the final seven years of his life, “most of his Torah Subjects and talks concerned self-sacrifice, and he emphasized that every Jew must be prepared even to be burned in fire and sacrifice himself for the sanctification of His blessed Name.” From Isru Chag Pesach 1944, he remained in the ghetto in Mattesdorf for approximately one month. Throughout that period, he spoke about matters of the coming of Mashiach and self-sacrifice. On 28 Iyar, he was murdered Al Kiddush Hashem in Auschwitz. After his murder, a note was found in one of the Sefarim he left in the ghetto containing “the Name and unification one must intend at the time of self-sacrifice for the sanctification of the Name” (Eileh Ezkerah, IV, pp. 70–75). His letters were printed in the Sefer “Lev Yechezkel” on the Torah. Good condition.
