Yaakov Asher Shub is addressed in the Rebbe’s correspondence as a shochet (ritual slaughterer) and active member of the Jewish community, engaged in teaching and communal support.
The Rebbe’s letter to Yaakov Asher Shub (26 Kislev, 5715) expresses appreciation for his ongoing efforts in teaching Tanya to laymen, participating in farbrengens (Chassidic gatherings) of Anash (the Chabad community), and supporting communal institutions. The Rebbe encourages him to continue these activities, invoking the theme of Chanukah—specifically the principle of “increasing and going further” as taught by Beit Hillel, to inspire continual growth in Torah and mitzvos. The Rebbe blesses him with success in all these endeavors and extends regards to those involved in the Torah classes.
