Yehuda Tzvi Fogelman (Chassidic Emissary and Intermediary)

Yehuda Tzvi Fogelman is referenced in the correspondence of the Lubavitcher Rebbe as an individual who served as an intermediary, delivering a pidyon nefesh (traditional petition for blessing) on behalf of another person. The letter indicates his role in facilitating spiritual communication and support within the Chabad community.

Correspondence with the Rebbe

In a letter dated the eve of Rosh Chodesh Adar 5712 (1952), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, through his secretary, acknowledges receiving a pidyon nefesh for a third party via Yehuda Tzvi Fogelman. The Rebbe responds to a report that the recipient is suffering from a certain fear, offering words of encouragement and faith. The Rebbe emphasizes the importance of bitachon (trust) in the Aibershter (the Blessed One Above), teaching that every Jew, whether man or woman, is under the direct supervision—hashgachah pratis—of Hashem Yisbarach. He assures that since G-d is inherently good, He will surely lead each individual toward good outcomes. The Rebbe invokes the words of David HaMelech in Tehillim: "I will fear no evil for You are with me," applying this message universally to all Jews. The tone of the letter is pastoral and supportive, aiming to strengthen faith and provide reassurance during a time of distress.
