As we are getting ready to celebrate the Yom Tov of Shavuos – Rabbi Shalom Ber Schapiro is pleased to share material from the Mindel Archives:
A timely telegram and letter from the Rebbe to President Zalman Shazar of Israel, in which the Rebbe gives him blessings for the coming Shavuos Yom Tov. Included in these are blessings for the fulfillment of G-d’s promise that we dwell in peace in our land and that our enemies should fall before us…
We see that the Rebbe’s blessing is indeed timely – as relevant today as it was 48 years ago. With today’s unrest in the Holy Land we are confident that the Rebbe’s blessings will be fulfilled.
An interesting letter written by the Rebbe “in the spirit of Shavuos.” : The rough draft of the letter with the Rebbe’s notations and the final draft of this letter, with the Rebbe’s signature.
