Two letters from Rebbe Meshulam Zusia Twersky of Loiev-Chernobyl:
• Letter of gratitude for financial support, handwritten and signed by Rebbe Meshulam Zusia Twersky of Loiev-Chernobyl, addressed to his relative Rebbe Shalom Yechezkel Shraga Rubin-Halberstam of Tzieshinov-Brooklyn. Jerusalem, Sivan 1955.
The Rebbe begins by reporting: "I received his precious letter with congratulations for the bar mitzva of my son" (his son, the current Rebbe of Chernobyl), and further blesses: "May G-d help that you merit to celebrate the joyous occasions of your sons… to raise them to Torah, wedding and good deeds, and much satisfaction and fullness of joys".

• Letter of gratitude for financial support, handwritten and signed by Rebbe Meshulam Zusia Twersky of Loiev-Chernobyl, addressed to his relative Rebbe Shalom Yechezkel Shraga Rubin-Halberstam of Tzieshinov-Brooklyn. Bnei Brak, Iyar 1960.
In his letter, the Rebbe blesses: "May you be blessed, together with your entire household, with good health and an abundance of blessing and success, and may you merit to reap much satisfaction and fullness of joys".
Further in the letter, the Rebbe reports to his relative of sensitive internal affairs taking place in the Belz court in those day, including: "Regarding the Belz Torah thoughts which were published, some Chassidim are raising their objection to this, since they have never before been published, and the Rebbe (presumably referring to Rebbe Aharon, who passed away in 1957) was particular in this regard".
Aerogram. 28 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor marginal tears (not affecting text). Folding marks.
Rebbe Meshulam Zusia Twersky of Loiev-Chernobyl (1910-1988), a scion of an illustrious lineage of prominent Tzaddikim: on his father's side, he descended from the Chernobyl dynasty, and from his mother's side, of the Sanz and Belz dynasties. His mother was the daughter of Rebbe Yitzchak Yeshaya Halberstam of Chechiav - son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, and great-granddaughter of Rebbe Yehoshua of Belz. In 1934, he immigrated to Eretz Israel, and studied for two years in Jerusalem, in the Merkaz HaRav yeshiva. In 1936, he travelled to Poland to spend the next three years with his grandfather R. Yeshaya of Chechiav. In 1939, he returned to Jerusalem, and married the daughter of the Rebbe of Stretin. Following the Holocaust, he was appointed Rebbe of Chernobyl. He combined in his leadership the style and conduct of Sanz which he absorbed from his illustrious grandfather, and many Sanz-Chechiav Chassidim accepted his authority. In 1959, he moved to Bnei Brak, where he opened the Sanz Beit Midrash. Following the arrival of the Shefa Chaim, Rebbe of Sanz-Klausenburg to Eretz Israel, R. Meshulam Zusia humbly handed over to his leadership the Beit Midrash which he had established. His sons are the current rebbes of Chernobyl, and his prominent son-in-law is R. Yisrael Hager, current Rebbe of Vizhnitz.

Nine leaves handwritten by R. Eliezer Berland, leader of the Breslov Shuvu Banim community. [Jerusalem].
The prayer leaves all begin with the words: "Omnipotent Master of the Universe…" and contain special prayers composed by R. Berland, with requests for various matters. The prayers include various calculations of numerical values related to the request. Most leaves were presumably written for people who turned to him in quest of advice and blessing, and some are (presumably) personal requests which the rabbi wrote for himself.
• "Master of the Universe… grant me the merit of reaching the level of Moshe Rabbenu…". • "Master of the Universe… grant me the merit of knowing the entire Talmud, Rambam, Tur, Shulchan Aruch… back to front, word for word, and all the books of our holy teacher… and may I merit 363 oceans of tears before You…". • "Master of the Universe… and may I never see any female stranger anymore…". • "Master of the Universe… grant me the most righteous wife in the world, and may I conduct myself with her in holiness and purity… and may I merit owning an apartment in Jerusalem without any debts…".
R. Eliezer Berland (b. 1938), a foremost leader of Breslov Chassidism in our times. He founded the Shuvu Banim yeshiva for Baalei Teshuva in Bnei Brak, later transferring it to the Old City of Jerusalem. The Shuvu Banim community led by R. Berland numbers today thousands of Chassidim and hundreds of families, mostly residing in the Musrara neighborhood (HaChoma HaShlishit St.) in Jerusalem, and is one of the most prominent Breslov communities in this generation.
9 leaves. Approx. 27 cm. Yellow, ruled paper. Condition varies, good to fair. Some leaves with folding marks and creases. Stains and wear.
