SCHNEERSOHN, SHTERNA SORAH (Wife of the fifth Grand Rabbi of Lubavitch, R. Shalom Dov Ber Schneerson (RaSHa’B) and mother of the sixth Grand Rabbi of Lubavitch R. Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson. 1860-1942). Autograph Letter Signed, written in a most distinctively florid hand, in Yiddish and Hebrew to Nacha Rivkin. Sending blessings for a bon voyage: “…Do not be afraid of the journey. The Lord God will bless you. He is on sea as on land.” Riga, 19th Shevat 1929.     Another letter to Nacha Rivkin who was clearly a very cherished friend of the Schneerson family. The Rebbetzin poignantly notes:          “My esteemed son the Rebbe and my dear [grand]children are all in Berlin. I am alone here with my maid. Although acquaintances visit, I remain isolated and forlorn.”
