Yitzchak HaKohen is identified in correspondence with the Lubavitcher Rebbe as a supporter of Jewish educational initiatives, residing in Miami and recently involved in opening a business there. His engagement with the Rebbe centers around charitable giving and support for Lubavitcher projects.
The Rebbe's letter to Yitzchak HaKohen, dated 25 Teves, 5711 (1951), acknowledges the receipt of a donation sent through Yitzchak's brother, Yaakov HaKohen. The Rebbe expresses gratitude for this contribution to tzedakah and attaches a receipt as confirmation. The tone of the letter is warm and encouraging, reflecting appreciation for Yitzchak's support and involvement.
The Rebbe notes that he has learned, via Yitzchak's brother, of the recent opening of a "three goods store" in Miami. He offers heartfelt blessings for success in this new venture, wishing that it be a source of ample livelihood both materially and spiritually. The Rebbe emphasizes that the donation has been directed to support the expanding network of Lubavitcher educational institutions in Africa, including a teachers' Beit Midrash, yeshivah, small yeshivah, and Talmud Torahs for boys and girls, all established in the name of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn.
The Rebbe highlights the ongoing growth and success of these institutions, attributing their achievements to Divine assistance and the guiding hand of the Previous Rebbe. He assures Yitzchak HaKohen that all who participate in this holy work will be blessed with both material and spiritual success. The letter concludes with the Rebbe's hope to continue hearing good news from Yitzchak in the future.
