Letter with wishes for the New Year (in Yiddish) by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Lubavitch-Chabad. To the renowned scribe and poet Mr. Chaim Grade. Brooklyn, NY. Time of (reciting) Selichot, 1966.
Material and spiritual blessings for the New Year. Typewritten on official stationery, with the addition of approximately 17 words in the handwriting and with the signature of the Rebbe: "With honor and blessing and thanks to my close friend…".
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, son of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Av Beit Din of Yekaterinoslav, paternal sixth generation descended from the author of the Tzemach Tzedek. In his childhood, he was already recognized for his genius and leadership. He married the daughter of the Rebbe the Reitz and from 1950, after the death of his father-in-law, he led Lubavitch Chassidim all over the world. He wrote dozens of books about all areas of Torah knowledge. He was the last Chabad rebbe.
The recipient is Mr. Chaim Grade (1910-1982) a leading Yiddish author from the last generations of the "Yiddishistim". In his youth, he studied in the Novardok Yeshivot and later in Vilnius where he was the study partner (chavruta) of the Chazon Ish who greatly influenced him. He was one of the founders of the club for Yiddish authors called "Yung Vilna". After the Holocaust, he immigrated to the US where he was known to be one of the foremost Jewish authors. Notwithstanding the fact that he did not observe mitzvoth in his private life, his poems and books expressed fondness of the religious and Torah way of life of Vilna Jews. His books describe the deliberations of Chassidim and Torah observers of the Musar Movement.
Official stationery, 21.5 cm. Good condition, creases.

Large collection of handwritten pamphlets of Chassidic articles by Chabad Rebbes: The Tzemach Tzedek, his son Rebbe Shmuel (Moharash) and his grandson Rebbe Shalom Dov Ber (Rashab). 1850's -1910's.
Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, author of Tzemach Tzedek (1789-1866), the third Chabad Rebbe was a leading scholar and Chassid. A close disciple of his grandfather, author of the Tanya, he led the Chassidism after the death of his father-in-law and uncle "The Middle Rebbe" Dov Ber in 1828.
The youngest of five sons of the author of Tzemach Tzedek – the Maharash of Lubavitch – Rabbi Shmuel Schneerson (1834-1882) was appointed Lubavitch Rebbe in 1866. He died at a young age and served as Rebbe for less than 20 years. His son the Rashab (1861-1920) was the fifth Rebbe of the Lubavitch dynasty and founder of the Tomchei Temimim Yeshivot.
More than 20 handwritten pamphlets of compositions, varying size and condition, by various writers, some booklets are incomplete. Some of the writers have a similar handwriting to that of the Tzemach Tzedek.
Our initial examination of the manuscript in comparison with the Chabad books which appear in the Otzar Chochma, reveal that most articles are taken from the teachings of the Rebbe, the Moharash from 1873-1880, and some differ from the printed versions.
