Rare Signature of Renowned Miracle Worker the Ribnitzer Rebba
Kesuba document made in the city of Ribnitz in the year 1949, including a rare full signature from the Admor of Ribnitz
Signatures from the Ribnitzer Rebba are extreamly rare
Rabbi Chaim Zanvil Abramowitz (1902 - 1995), known as the Ribnitzer Rebbe, was born in Botosani, Romania. Orphaned as a child, he was raised by Rabbi Avraham Matisyahu of Shtefanesht who treated him as an only son. He lived in Ribnitz and practiced holy behaviors already in his youth; immersing himself in frozen rivers and risking his life under the communist rule to circumcise and slaughter in accordance with Jewish law. He miraculously survived Nazi occupation and during this era his name spread as a miracle worker with countless stories attesting to his holy power. In 1973 he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and later to America where he continued giving blessings and advice. He is buried in Monsey where people flock to his kever to pray for salvation.
