Letter from Rebbe Yosef HaKohen Friedman of Rimanov. Rimanov (Rymanów), [1903]. Handwritten invitation to the wedding of his grandson R. Tzvi Chaim, with the bride Sarah, daughter of Rebbe Yisrael Hager, the Ahavat Yisrael of Viznitz (Vyzhnytsia). The invitation was written by the Rebbe's scribe, and personally signed by the Rebbe: "Yosef son of R. Tzvi". The head of the letter bears his stamp, depicting eagles, with the words: "Yosef HaKohen Friedman, Rimanov". In this letter, the Rebbe extends his wishes of blessing and salvation to the recipient and the entire Jewish people in virtue of the joyous occasion. Rebbe Yosef Friedman of Rymanów (1844-1913), the youngest son of Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh of Rymanów, was orphaned at the young age of 3 and raised by his stepfather Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin (Ruzhyn) who remarried his mother, the righteous Rebbetzin Malka. After the passing of R. Yisrael of Ruzhin, his mother remained in the Sadigura (Sadhora) court with her young son and daughter. Her son Yosef was seven years old at the time and Rebbe Avraham Yaakov, the first Sadigura Rebbe, took charge of his education and molded his spiritual character to render him fit of succeeding his father Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh of Rymanów. At R. Yosef's wedding with Rebbetzin Freida, a descendant of the Baal Shem Tov, the Rebbe of Sadigura represented the bridegroom and R. Yosef subsequently became a member of his household, treated with honor and love like a son, even adopting the latter's surname "Friedman". In 1867, at the age of 23, the Rebbe of Sadigura commanded him to relocate to Rymanów to succeed his father in leading the community, position he held until his death in 1913. His conduct and lifestyle followed the majestic style of Rebbes from the Ruzhin dynasty. When he opened his court in Rymanów, his father's hometown, many of his father's followers, who up until then frequented the court of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, began travelling to him. His grandson the groom R. Tzvi Chaim (d. 1939) was the son of his only daughter Rebbetzin Malka, wife of Rebbe Asher Yeshaya Horowitz of Rimanov-Krakow. After the passing of his father R. Asher Yeshaya in 1935, he succeeded him as Rebbe of Rimanov. [1] leaf, 22 cm. Good condition. Stains. Folding marks.
