Beschreibung:

A letter by Rebbe Ya'akov David Kalish of Amshinov, to his relative Rabbi Avraham Moshe Boim. [Żyrardów, near Warsaw], summer 1939. Letter by his Mashbak (Shamash) in the Rebbe's name and at the end are a few lines in the Rebbe's handwriting, blessing of "salvation in all matters, quiet and security", with the Rebbe's own signature and stamp. In the letter, the Mashbak Rabbi Shalom "writes and signs according to the instructions of the Rebbe", words of encouragement for those difficult times prior to World War II, "G-d should guard and save you from all harm and pain, G-d forbid, and only continue granting you all good things and you shall see the real salvation of all Jews speedily". The bar-mitzvah of the Rebbe's firstborn son, Yehuda Aryeh Menachem, which took place in the village of Gur in the home of his great-grandfather Rebbe Avraham Mordechai Alter, author of Imrei Emet is mentioned in the letter. Rebbi Ya’akov David Kalish (the II) of Amshinov (1906-1942, Encyclopedia of L'Chassidut Vol. 2, pp. 263-264) son of Rebbe Yosef Kalish of Amshinov. Son-in-law of the granddaughter of the Gerrer Rebbe author of the Imrei Emet of Ger who favored Rabbi Ya'akov David very much. He was well-known as an exalted Torah genius and at a young age was appointed Av Beit Din of Żyrardów adjacent to Warsaw. In 1936, his father died and the Amshinov Chassidim appointed Rabbi Ya'akov David successor, however the Żyrardów community was not willing to relinquish his leadership so he served simultaneously as rabbi in their city and as rebbe in Amshinov. The outbreak of World War II forced the rebbe to hide and for almost two years he hid in various places in Warsaw until he became ill and died in one of the places of refuge. His wife and four children were murdered in the Holocaust. The recipient is Rabbi Avraham Moshe Boim of Lodz, descendent of Rebbe Bunim of Przysucha and of the Saba Kadisha Rabbi Yitzchak of Warka. He ascended to Eretz Israel in 1924 and had close connections with Rebbe Yosef Kalish of Amshinov and with his son Rabbi Ya'akov David. He died in 1965. Official stationery, 28.5 cm. Fair condition, tears and glue marks on paper folds.
