Chitrik Kabolas Ponim

In honour of 14 Kislev here is a hagoho of a hanocho from Rabbi Hirshel Chitrik's kabolas ponim on Purim Koton 5711. The Rebbe instructs to delete the stories relating to 'di chasunah fun Rebbe'ns yingere tochter' and 'di bar-mitzvah fun dem plimenik'.

10 Kislev 5704

Here is a letter from the Rebbe to R' Shmuel Zalmanov dated 10th Kislev 5704 with additions in the Rebbe's ksav yad kodesh. The letter is printed in Igros Kodesh v.1 p.201, however, if you look carefully some of the ksav yad wasn't copied correctly.

19 Kislev 5716

Apologies

Sorry for the long break in posting, Tishrei completely swamped me and I have found it hard to get back into the swing of things. Bl'n I will start posting more regularly again. I've started with a geshamke yechidus of the Frierdike Rebbe from 5705.

RMS:n

Here is an English michtav kloli from 18th Elul 5710. On the bottom left of the page there is written a code 'RMS:n', the RMS reference is understood, however, if anyone knows what the 'n' refers to please let me know in the comments.

Shabbos Mevorchim Elul 5711

Below is a hagoho of the sicha from Eikev 5711. I like the nusach of R' Bentche's shtempel.

Another Letter from Reb Itche Masmid

Whilst we're on the subject of Reb Itche Masmid here is another letter that just shows you can be a beinoni and be practical and with it at the same time.

Letter from Reb Itche Masmid

A few interesting points in this letter dated Sivan 5696 to Reb Yisroel Jacobson. Reb Itche explains that it is over ten years since you've seen the Rebbe and even then it was only whilst he was in America which doesn't count for anything since "tzu a Rebben darf men fohren" and since you saw him in America "zeh ayno afilu kemo hamoshol shel melech basodeh..."

At the end he reports on a pogrom that occurred in a town close to Otvotzk and the fear of having to uproot is not helping the Frierdike Rebbe's health and he concludes "der velt is grois un yidden hoben kayn mokom nit".

To which body will the soul be returned?

A very interesting letter regarding "Techiyas Hameisim" (Resurrection of the dead) when Moshiach comes.

This letter was first printed in a 'Teshura' for the wedding of Rabbi & Mrs. R. Leigh, 14 Kislev, 5763 (pg. 20).

10 Shevat 5722 - Nshei Chabad

שקולה מיתתן של צדיקים כשריפת בית אלוקינו - ר"ה י"ח,ב

There are many letters signed by the Rebbe, Rebbetzin N.D. and the Rasha"g, (General letters to all Jews, new year wishes to private people etc.), but this is only letter I've come across that's written in English and signed by all three. A very historic letter.

"Many thanks for the בשורות טובות"

A letter from the Rebbe in response to Mr. Harris's wishes to the Rebbe for a 'Refua shleima', after Shmini Atzeres, 5738.
