Three printed invitations from Rebbe Avraham Mordechai Alter of Ger, to the weddings of his grandchildren. Jerusalem, Sivan 1944 / Elul 1946 / Elul 1947.
In the first invitation, to the wedding of his grandson R. Binyamin Menachem Alter, written during the Holocaust in Sivan 1944, the Rebbe requests of his Chassidim to remain at home, and not attend the celebration, due to the sorrowful times - the destruction of European Jewry: "I invite my beloved ones to rejoice in my happiness, and since it is not fitting in these times to gather and rejoice together, celebrate in your homes, and thus our joys will unite…".
In the second invitation, to the wedding of his grandson R. Aharon Noach Yoskowitz in Elul 1946, R. Shlomo Yoskowitz, son-in-law of the Rebbe, who lost his wife and most of his family in the Holocaust, writes: "I thank G-d who had pity on me and left me a precious remnant from my wife and descendants…" (most of the relatives of the Imrei Emet, including his brothers and hundreds of his descendants, were murdered by the Nazis).
The third invitation is to the wedding of his granddaughter Malka Raizel (Sheinfeld) daughter of R. Yitzchak Meir Levin, leader of Agudath Israel.
