Manuscript, "copy of a letter by the Lubavitch Rebbe", Shalom Dov Ber Schneerson – a copy of his historical letter written on the 10 th of Tamuz 1899.
Among other things he writes: "…Even if these people completely fulfilled G-d's will and his Torah, and even if there were grounds for thinking that they would reach their goal, we are not to heed them in this matter to achieve our redemption by our own strength. Behold, we are not allowed to force the redemption even by insistent entreaties… how much more so by force and material schemes… i.e. we are not allowed to force our way out of exile and this will not be our redemption…". Further in the letter, the Rashab sharply criticizes the Zionist leaders who blaspheme basic Jewish beliefs and fight to destroy the education of Torah and fear of Heaven to exchange it for the "Torah" of the new nationalism.
Written on official stationery of Rabbi "Pesach ben Rabbi Chanoch Hendel Freidland" from the city of Kremenchuk. Rabbi Pesach Freidland (1869-1942), son of Rabbi Chanoch Hendel Freidland [1850-1914, Av Beit Din of Porechye, Babruysk region], student at the Volozhin Yeshiva. A founder of the Zionist Union Nes Tziona. Delegate at the convention of Jewish Public Activists from the entire Tsarist Russia who convened in Kovno in 1910. He was an active member of the Mizrachi Union from the beginning of its establishment. Delegate of the Mizrachi convention in Lida in 1903 and a Mizrachi delegate to all the Zionist congresses from the second congress until the thirteenth. In 1922, he moved to Jerusalem and was one of the founders of the Mizrachi Bank.
4 pages, 21 cm. good condition.
