13 Teves 5721

Here is a letter from the Rebbe to Mrs. Einbinder of New Haven advising her to purchase a ready built home and make alterations rather than buy a plot of land and build a new house.

The Rebbe signed the letter in the name of the mazkir.

Hayom Yom 19 Kislev

Here is a letter from the Rebbe to R' Pinchas Kramer (24 Kislev 5712) about the Nusach Ari shul in Dorchester and the custom of wearing a tallis for evening services etc. The letter was first printed in Likkutei Sichos v.13 p.200 and later in Igros Kodesh v.5 p.91. Here it is reproduced with the original ksav yad.

Chassidim's Letter to RND, 5711

A close friend of mine is of the opinion that I shouldn't publish the letter below, so here are my resons for publishing it.

First of all, in todays age it is not possible to keep things secret, information will always leak out. Therefore, instead of an academic getting hold of these things and showing Lubavitchers trying to rewrite history, it is far better to admit to your history and come to terms with it. It is not a secret that a) RND was supportive of the Rashag b) that the Rashag initially opposed the Rebbe's nesius and c) that the overwhelming majority of chassidim supported the Rebbe. Therefore, I don't consider this letter to be so dangerous to publish.

What is interesting from this letter is how strong their opposition to the Rebbe was, which brings out how impressive it was that the Rashag eventually accepted the Rebbe's nesius.
