Letter in the Handwriting of Rebbetzin Sarah Shterna Schneerson - Wife of the Rebbe the Rashab and Mother of the Rayatz
Letter in Yiddish in the handwriting of Rebbetzin Chaya Shterna Schneerson wife of the Rebbe the Rashab, sent to "My honorable and modest friend Musha Chaya". Tishrei 1928.
Rebbetzin Sarah Shterna – the fifth rebbetzin of the Chabad dynasty, was born in 1859 to her father Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak of Ovruch son of the Tzemach Tzedek and to her mother, daughter of Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael of Cherkasy, son-in-law of the Middle Rebbe. In 1865, her betrothal to the Rashab was celebrated in the home of her illustrious grandfather, author of the Tzemach Tzedek (the bride and groom were 5 years old at the time), and their marriage took place ten years later in 1875. In 1940, she immigrated with her only son the Rebbe the Rayatz to the USA and in 1942 she died. She was renowned for her righteousness and her wisdom. The girls' school network Beit Sarah established by her son the Rayatz, was named after her.
1 leaf, 27 cm. 11 handwritten lines. Good condition, creases and folding marks.
