Letter of Blessing for a Marriage from the Vizhnitz Rebbe, the ”Yeshuos Moshe” – 1974 - A warm and heartfelt letter of blessing from the Vizhnitz Rebbe, Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Hager, author of Yeshuos Moshe, sent on the occasion of a family wedding in 1974. In his letter, the Rebbe blesses the bride and groom as they embark upon building their home, writing: ”May it be the Divine will that this match flourish successfully, forming an everlasting bond and an eternal edifice, and that they merit to establish their home in accordance with the holy Torah...” Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Hager (1916–2012), the renowned Vizhnitz Rebbe and author of Yeshuos Moshe, was one of the foremost leaders of Orthodox Jewry in the postwar era and served as President of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah. Celebrated for his extraordinary mastery of both revealed and mystical aspects of Torah, his noble character, and his radiant countenance, he was among the last surviving representatives of the pre-war generation of Hasidic rebbes. Following the passing of his father, the famed Vizhnitz Rebbe, author of Imrei Chaim, he assumed the leadership of the dynasty and guided the Vizhnitz movement for more than four decades, during which it became one of the most influential Hasidic courts in the world. Letters of this nature reflect the Rebbe’s personal and paternal relationship with his followers and associates, and constitute a touching Hasidic relic bearing the personal blessing of one of the most prominent spiritual leaders of the modern era. Signed in his holy hand. One page on official Vizhnitz Rebbe letterhead and the envelope. 17 × 25 cm. Very fine condition.
