[תחלת אדר, ה'תשל"א]

הרב זוין. — במענה למכתבו ובהמשך — למברקיי

שלום וברכה!

הקודמים, מבהיל שאין מזכירים כלל אודות

הבאים

מוינה ואינם ברשימת שני הרבנים שביקרו בוינה.

וביניהם נוצרים במדינתם לפנים ובאה"ק עתה תעודת יהודי בידם.

בכבוד ובברכה,

מנחם שניאורסאהן

Beginning of Adar, 5731.

Rabbi Zevin.

In response to your letter and following my previous telegrams—Shalom u'Vrachah!

It is astonishing that there is no mention at all regarding those coming from Vienna, and they are not included in the list of the two rabbis who visited Vienna. Among them are people who were formerly Christians in their country and now possess a certificate identifying them as Jews.

With honor and blessing, Menachem Schneersohn


Summary

The Rebbe highlights the importance of addressing the status of individuals returning from Vienna, especially those with complex backgrounds, and urges clarity and inclusion in communal records.
