Letter and notes of Divrei Torah and stories of Chasidim, handwritten by the Rebbe of Alexander, Rabbi Yehuda Moshe Tahiberg, author of the Emunat Moshe.
The letter is addressed to "Harav Hachasid R' Noach" [probably R' Noach Gad Weintraub], in which he copies short words from his brother Rabbi Avraham Shraga Tahiberg, who perished, together with his wife and two sons, in the Nazi hell in Lodz, Poland. The Rebbe requested of his to "make a place for these Torah thoughts in one of the booklets that you print".
In the notes, the Rebbe writes tales of Chasidim, told by the Ba'al Shem Tov and the Rebbes of Alexander.
Rabbi Moshe Yehuda Tahiberg (1893-1973, Encyclopedia of Chasidut B, pages 43-44) was a son-in-law of Rabbi Bezael Ya'ir Danziger. He made aliya to Jerusalem, and after the holocaust, in which most of the Rebbes of Alexander were murdered, he was appointed as Rebbe.
