Sent to Chicago.
"והשי"ת ישפיע שפעת חיים וברכה מרובה.... ויתברכו בגשמיות וברחניות"
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson (1880-1950), son and successor of Rabbi Shalom Dovber of Lubavitch. As a young man, his father appointed him director of the Tomchei Temimim Yeshivos. Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak succeeded his father as Rebbe to large numbers of Lubavitcher chassidim in Russia and around the world and established an extensive network of underground Yeshivos and Talmud Torah schools operating under the atheistic communist Russian regime, despite the risks involved. He was arrested for these activities in 1927, but released after international intervention on his behalf, and left for Riga, Latvia in 1928. In 1932 he moved to Warsaw and then to Otwock in Poland, and was miraculously smuggled out from German-occupied Warsaw to New York in 1940. In America, he continued his efforts to strengthen Orthodox Judaism through the establishment of Yeshivos and schools and through a network of representatives in communities across the country.
