Long interesting letter by Rebbe Sinai Halberstam Av Beit Din of Żmigród and its region. Most of the letter is in the handwriting of his scribe. At the end, the rebbe added 8 lines in his handwriting and with his own signature, "Blessings and success.. with much good and that you wife should have an easy labor and a timely birth". Most of the letter is a report of the wedding of a member of the Rebbe's family which was delayed and scheduled for Friday, Erev Shabbat Teruma. At the end of the letter which is flowing with fervent blessings, the rebbe added more blessings in his own handwriting and signs: "And I beseech our Father in Heaven that he should grant you good all you days, HaKoton Sinai Halberstam". Rebbe Sinai Halberstam of Żmigród (1870-1941), son of Rebbe Baruch of Gorlice, son of Rebbe Chaim of Sanz, the Divrei Chaim, who after the birth of his grandson instructed his son to name him Sinai (the reason for this name can be found in the sources noted below). He conducted himself in holiness and served G-d with his entire being. He would rise at midnight and study the Zohar until the time for the morning prayers and was renowned as a wonder-worker. He served in the rabbinates of Gorlice, Kołaczyce and Żmigród and from 1904 became the Rebbe of Żmigród and one of the leading Sanz Rebbes. Scholar and preacher, he was renowned for his devoted prayers. At the end of his life, he moved to Krakow. His grandson, Rabbi Moshe Halberstam - later a Rabbi of Badatz HaEda HaCharedit, traveled in his youth from Jerusalem to Krakow to don tefillin at his Bar Mitzva in his grandfather's home, but his journey was interrupted by the outbreak of WWII. Miraculously he managed to escape and return to Eretz Israel, however his elderly grandfather the Rebbe fled to the Omsk forests, escaping the Nazis, where he perished from hunger. Extraordinarily, his family chanced upon a white fabric to use as shrouds and they placed a tombstone on his grave. His writings were lost during the Holocaust. [Rabbeinu HaKadosh M'Sanz, Vol. 2, p. 369; Me'orei Galicia, Vol. 2, p. 528]. [2] written pages, on official stationery. 22 cm. Good condition. Folding marks.
