Study and Donate
Chof Menachem Av is the yahrzeit and hilula of my father, Harav Levi Yitzchak ben Harav Boruch Schneur ז”ל.…
It is my obligation and great zechus to suggest, request, etc., that everyone study from his teachings at the farbrengen [of Chof Av], and to donate to charity in his memory on this day.
He sacrificed his life to spread Yiddishkeit amongst the Jewish people “behind the Iron Curtain,” for which he was imprisoned, was sentenced to exile, perished in exile, and his resting place is there.
May his merit protect us and all the Jewish people שליט”א.
—From a letter of the Rebbe, Motzoei Tisha B’Av 5744/1984
ללמוד ולנדב
כ”ף במנחם אב, יום היארצייט וההילולא של אאמו”ר לוי יצחק בן הרב אא”ז ברוך שניאור – ז”ל . .
ועלי החוב והזכות גדול להציע ולבקש וכו’ – ללמוד בההתועדות מתורתו, ולנדב ביומא דין לזכר נשמתו,
שמסר נפשו על הפצת היהדות בתוככי בני ישראל “מאחורי מסך הברזל”, ועל ידי זה הי’ חבוש בבית האסורים ונשפט לגלות ומת בגולה ושם מנוחתו כבוד,
זכותו יגן עלינו ועל כל ישראל – שליט”א.
ממכתב מוצאי ת”ב, ה’תשד”מ
