A Letter Filled with Overflowing Blessings from the Holy Brothers, Sons of Rebbi Menachem Nachum of Rachmastrivka.
"We hereby bless you and pray on your behalf… that Hashem should grant you a good life… and an abundance of blessing and success in all your endeavors… May Hashem command His blessing upon you and deliver you from all your distress… and may no one be able to harm you, and may Hashem grant you success in all your matters and desires, so that you can continue to do good with great ease. May you celebrate the festival of Pesach with joy and happiness, within the entirety of Israel, with complete joy from the salvation of Hashem, who will save His people Israel."
"We are praying for you and for all of Israel for a complete salvation and redemption soon, for good and for blessing…"
Signed: Avraham Dov, son of the holy and righteous Rebbi Menachem Nachum Zt”l.
David, son of the holy and righteous Rebbi Menachem Nachum Zt”l.
Rebbi David of Rachmastrivka (1872–1951) was one of the most revered Rebbes of his generation, the son and successor of his father, Rebbi Menachem Nachum ("Reb Nachum’che"). Rebbi David was married to Shifra, the daughter of Rebbi Avraham Yehoshua Heshel Twersky of Skver. His leadership style mirrored that of his father, and in his humility, he often conducted tishen together with his brother, an exceptionally rare practice in the history of Chassidism. He passed away in Jerusalem and was buried in the Sanhedria Cemetery. Rebbi David of Rachmastrivka was the father of Rebbi Yochanan of Rachmastrivka and the grandfather of Rebbi Yisrael Mordechai Zt”l, who was the father of the current Rachmastrivka Rebbe, Rebbi David Shlit”a.
Rebbi Avraham Dov of Rachmastrivka (1865–1941), known for his piety and holiness, refrained from eating meat for decades. Great tzaddikim sought his blessings for salvation and mercy. He was the son-in-law of Rabbi Ephraim Margolies of Matziv (the son-in-law of Rebbi Avraham Twersky of Trisk) and was married to Sheva Twersky. He was known for his restraint and rarely expressed himself publicly. His family remained in Russia.
After the passing of their father, the two brothers led the Chassidic dynasty together, in love and brotherhood.
