414 —שליחת חומר מודפס ואיסוף סיפורי אבות חסידיים

B"H, 12 Cheshvan, 5709.

Vavac"h iy"a nu"m etc. Hatamim [Moharsh"z].

Shalom u'Vrachah!

The Rebbe Rayatz shlita gave me your letter with a request to send you from what has been printed by me. What we send in the name of Hararam"p shlita HaKohen is explicitly to merit the public with it, since we are unable to send to each individual separately. Nevertheless, since your request came to us in an exceptional manner, I am also fulfilling it in an exceptional way, on condition: a) that you merit the public with what is sent in your name in a separate package; b) you sign your letter [...] grandson of Haram"y of Nevel.

Therefore, please send from your recollections what you know about your grandfather and also your great-uncle, because for some time now it has been the desire of the Rebbe Rayatz shlita to collect information about the elder chassidim, and certainly over time this will also be a merit for the public.

Regards to the entire group and Hararam"p shlita.

Rabbi Menachem Schneerson

It seems that during the imprisonment of the Rebbe Rayatz shlita in Petersburg he was among those to whom I gave manuscripts to hide?

Summary

The Rebbe emphasizes benefiting the wider community through sharing Torah materials and encourages preserving stories of chassidic ancestors for future generations.
