Moshe Shtrakshtein is identified in the correspondence as a benefactor and supporter of Lubavitch educational institutions, particularly those operating in North Africa under the name "Oholei Yosef Yitzchak Lubavitch." He is addressed with honorific titles, reflecting his respected status and positive character traits.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, corresponded with Moshe Shtrakshtein regarding his ongoing support for the Lubavitch institutions in North Africa. In a letter dated 28 Adar 5711 (1951), the Rebbe acknowledges receipt of Mr. Shtrakshtein's donation and expresses gratitude for his partnership in sustaining and expanding these vital educational programs. The Rebbe describes the growth and development of the institutions, which include a teachers' seminary, yeshivah, junior yeshivah, Talmud Torahs for boys and girls, and evening classes for working adults. He emphasizes the importance of continued financial support to overcome obstacles and reach more Jewish children and families in the region.
The Rebbe's tone is warm and encouraging, highlighting the transformative impact of these institutions and the merit of those who assist in their mission. He assures Mr. Shtrakshtein that he will mention him and his family for blessings and long, meaningful life at the resting place of the previous Rebbe, and he concludes with heartfelt blessings for spiritual and material success, especially in the realm of supporting Torah and Chassidus.
