Three letters handwritten and signed by Rebbe Yitzchak Menachem Danziger of Alexander, to his relative Rabbi Yisrael Nisan Kupershtoch Rabbi of Makova who immigrated to Jerusalem. Alexander, c. 1927-1930.
Enclosed: a letter (an old lithographic copy of a handwritten letter) by the rebbe to the heads of Kollel Poland in Jerusalem, regarding the proper distribution of the kollel's money [a topic that was controversial in those days and apparently this letter was photocopied and publicized during that polemic].
The content of the letters: a request to pray for his expectant daughter at the holy places, about his book Ani ben Pachma, about matters concerning Kollel Poland etc.
Rebbe Yitzchak Menachem Danziger of Alexander (1880-1942) was a prominent rebbe of his generation. He was educated by his grandfather, the founder of the dynasty of Rabbi Yechiel of Alexander (who was the brother in law of Rabbi Yisrael Nisan, the recipient of these letters), by his uncle Rabbi Yerachmiel Yisrael Yitzchak, author of Yismach Yisrael, and by his father Rebbe Shmuel Zvi of Alexander, author of Tiferet Shmuel.
In 1924, he was crowned as rebbe, after 70 [!] leading Polish rabbis who were his father's Chassidim, requested that he continue leading the dynasty. During his leadership, the Alexander Chassidic community in Poland grew and numbered tens of thousands of Jews. With his brother Rabbi Avraham Chaim Danziger, he founded the chain of the Beit Yisrael Yeshivot in memory of his uncle the author of Yismach Yisrael. He was murdered in the Holocaust with all his children and grandchildren without leaving any survivors. After the Holocaust, what remained of Alexander Chassidim gathered around his cousin Rabbi Yehuda Moshe Tehiberg and crowned him as Rebbe. His Chassidim compiled whatever remained of his Torah writings and printed them in the book Akedat Yitzchak. The recipient of the letters: Rabbi Yisrael Nisan Kupershtoch, (1858-1930) son in law of the sister of the first Alexander Rebbe, Rebbe Yechiel Danziger. He served as rabbi of Purzyce and Makova, immigrated to Jerusalem in 1925 where he established a branch of the chain of Alexander yeshivot, see Item 299.
4 items, varied size and condition: the 3 letters in his own handwriting are in good condition, file holes. (+ a lithographic leaf, in fair-poor condition, damage to margins and tears with omission(..

A letter by Rebbe Avraham Elimelech Perlow, Pinsk Karlin, [Iyar 1933].
The letter was a response to the Ma'amadot money sent by the Chassidim in Eretz Yisrael, and this is what he writes: "I did not imagine that after the whole winter that cost them much money, they would send again, and at first, I thought I would return the money, afterwards, I thought that they might consider this as a humiliation, therefore I accepted it and attached are all the receipts". In the continuation of the letter, the Rebbe inquires about the health and livelihood of his Chassidim and blesses the recipient "that he should merit giving in peace and plenty and rest from all distress and he should hear only good news¦ the one who blesses him and mentions him for good and blessing at all times, Avraham Elimelech".

Most of his father's Chassidim in Russia and Eretz Yisrael flocked after him and to prevent controversy with the Chassidim of his brother Rabbi Moshe of Stolin, he moved his court to Karlin near Pinsk. He established the Karlin Yeshiva in Luninitz. He and his descendants perished in the Holocaust.
