Moshe Yemini (Torah Correspondent)

Moshe Yemini is an individual who corresponded with the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, seeking guidance on matters of Torah study and spiritual practice. His communication with the Rebbe reflects a thoughtful engagement with both personal and mystical topics within Judaism.

Correspondence with the Rebbe

In a letter dated 27 Adar, 5715 (1955), the Rebbe responds to Moshe Yemini's inquiry, acknowledging receipt of his letter and assuring him that he and those he mentioned would be remembered at the holy resting place of the Rebbe's father-in-law, the Previous Rebbe. The Rebbe encourages Yemini to maintain the daily study portions of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya as established by the Previous Rebbe, emphasizing their universal importance. The Rebbe also extends wishes for a kosher and joyous Pesach for Yemini and his family.

Discussion of Mystical Concepts

In a postscript, the Rebbe addresses a specific question raised by Yemini regarding the division of the six thousand years of the world's existence (Shit Alfei Shanei De-havi Alma) and their correspondence to the six middos (emotional attributes) in Kabbalistic thought. The Rebbe affirms the connection between the number six and the middos, referencing sources such as the Zohar. However, he clarifies that while some mystical structures use divisions of seven due to the inclusion of qualities within each other, the division of a millennium is traditionally into ten or twelve, citing classical sources like Pirkei D'Rabbi Eliezer and Sefer HaLikutim.
