Autograph Letter from Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Chabad – Entirely in His Handwriting. Brooklyn, 1947
Autograph Letter from Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Chabad – Entirely in His Handwriting.
Brooklyn, 1947
A complete autograph letter, written entirely in the handwriting of the Admor Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Chabad and bearing his signature.
The complete letter, together with the English mailing information on the original air letter — including the Rebbe’s name and return address and the recipient’s name and address — is entirely in the Rebbe’s own handwriting.
The letter includes remarks regarding an article on the sources of the Rambam, an area in which the Rebbe had particular expertise, possessing exceptional mastery in identifying the sources underlying the words of the Rambam.
The study of the Rambam was especially dear to him, and at the farbrengen of Acharon Shel Pesach 1984, the Rebbe advanced the idea of a daily study cycle of Rambam, so that all Klal Yisrael would be united through the study of the entire Oral Torah.
The Rebbe’s Own Haggadah
He also writes that “the Haggadah with Likkutei Ta’amim U’minhagim was arranged by me.” This refers to the Haggadah with Likkutei Ta’amim U’minhagim printed by the Rebbe in 1946, in which he compiled hundreds of explanations from dozens of sefarim on the Haggadah, primarily according to the nusach and halachic rulings of the Alter Rebbe, with the addition of a collection of customs for Chabad chassidim.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe
The Admor

He was deeply involved in drawing Jews closer to Judaism and in organizing mitzvah campaigns to benefit Klal Yisrael.
