Letter of invitation from Rebbe David Moshe of Chortkov to his son's wedding, Rebbe Israel of Chortkov
A letter from Rebbe David Moshe Friedman (1827-1903). Chortkov, [1870?].
The letter opens with a blessing of "long life, beauty, grace and blessings". Sent to "the wonderful rabbi…he's graceful full of humility… Yitzchak". In the letter he announces the marriage of his "dear son…the glory of Israel" [Rebbe Israel of Chortkov] with "the bride, my brothers' Rabbi Abraham Ya'akov daughter".
Rebbe David Moshe Friedman, first rebbe of Chortkov, son of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhyn (great grandson of the Maggid of Mezritch). Born on Shavuot 1827. Known as holy and never involved in an idle talk.
In 1867 he settled in Chortkov and established a Beit Midrash. Was well known for his modesty. Had tens of thousands of followers who turned to him for advice and blessings. Supported the Jews of Israel financially and helped build the kloiz of Chortkov in Safed since he felt a special bond with Safed and Meron [See item 15, the seal of Safed Kloiz of Rebbe David Moshe Friedman of Chortkov]. Died on Hoshaana raba in 1903.
10 rows (written by an author?) and signed by the Rebbe in his holy handwriting.
[1] page, 26.5 cm. good condition. Stains and damages professionally restored. The end of the letter and Rebbe's signature are a little damaged and restored.
