David Brauman (Chabad Chassid, Correspondent on Kfar Chabad Settlement)

David Brauman is addressed in the correspondence of the Lubavitcher Rebbe as a devoted Chabad Chassid, recognized for his engagement with the community of Anash (Chabad Chassidim) in Eretz HaKodesh (the Holy Land). His communication with the Rebbe centers around the topic of settling in Kfar Chabad, reflecting his involvement in communal and settlement matters among Chabad refugees and their families.

Correspondence with the Rebbe

The letter from the Rebbe to David Brauman, dated 25 Shevat 5715 (1955), responds to Brauman's inquiry regarding the Rebbe's perspective on the settlement of Anash in Kfar Chabad. The Rebbe expresses surprise that many individuals seek his opinion on this matter, emphasizing that he has already clearly stated his view: Kfar Chabad is the primary channel, vessel, and place for the blessing of G-d and success for Chabad Chassidim who have arrived in Eretz HaKodesh as refugees from former countries.

The Rebbe urges that every member of Anash should strive to settle in Kfar Chabad in a permanent and appropriate manner, without causing harm or deception to others. Even those who currently require employment elsewhere are encouraged to seek ways to gradually establish their livelihood within the village. The Rebbe notes the tangible growth in sources of livelihood due to new buildings and institutions in Kfar Chabad and expresses strong confidence in the continued development of the community.

Additionally, the Rebbe extends his guidance to the younger activists among Anash, encouraging them to consider settling in Kfar Chabad as well, except for those whose work in the broader Chabad mission necessitates their presence elsewhere. The Rebbe also addresses those who have left the village for perceived reasons, urging them to seek ways to return and participate in building the community as a conduit for both spiritual and material blessing.

Role in Disseminating the Rebbe's Guidance

The Rebbe requests that David Brauman publicize this guidance among Anash, highlighting the importance of not repeatedly asking questions whose answers are already clear. The Rebbe's tone is both directive and encouraging, expressing hope that obstacles and concealments will diminish, and that all will recognize their place of spiritual and material happiness in Kfar Chabad.
