Sacred Letter with Tremendous Blessings to Merit Children, from the Sacred Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Padua, the Admo”r of Bolchov, ztz”l. 1899 - Sacred letter handwritten and sent by Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Padua of Bolchov ztz”l to a close associate for the upcoming Passover. The recipient required a yeshuah to have children. The Admo”r blesses him with blessings containing various hints from the Passover festival and the Passover haggadah, that he have the merit of experiencing salvation - to have viable children, just as the patriarchs and matriarchs experienced salvation on Passover. The haggadah states, 'Here the son asks, ' 'You open for him.' Sedarim in gematria is 'Shad-ai' regarding ' E-l Shad-ai P'ru U'r'vu. ' Your siman is ' beitzah she'noldah ' - beitzah in gematria is 'HaBanim, ' and zeroa in gematria is ”HaYeshuah” along with other inferences to his quick salvation. At the beginning of the letter, the attendant reports that the Admo”r has only just returned from a visit to Russia, and he did not yet have time to respond with a thank-you letter for the sefarim the addressee had sent to him. The tzaddik is enjoying them very much. He also asks that he please send maror for Pesach - lettuce, because the Admo”r has difficulty eating horseradish due to its sharpness and his ill health. He also requests that he send fresh fish for Passover to the Admo”r home, as Chassidim have the custom of only eating fresh fish.
