Interesting Letter from the Klausenburger Rebbe – United States, Summer 1958 – Regarding His Disciple R. Menashe Klein, Rabbi of Ungvar
Lengthy letter handwritten and signed by Rebbe Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam, rabbi of Klausenburg. "Summer camp" [Woodridge, NY, June 1958].
Sent to Netanya, to the building committee of Kiryat Sanz. The letter begins with blessings for the recovery of R. Yechezkel (presumably a member of the committee, since the rebbe blesses him that he should "return to his full strength speedily… that he should be able to continue engaging in the holy work…").
The letter continues with a recommendation for his disciple, R. Menashe Klein (author of Mishneh Halachot, rebbe and rabbi of the Ungvar community in the United States and Jerusalem): " …our disciple and friend, the prominent rabbi, R. Menashe Klein, is travelling to our Holy Land… it is fitting to draw him very close…". The rebbe explains that the purpose of R. Menashe's trip to Eretz Israel is to find himself a suitable wife (since his first marriage was not successful), and he asks the recipients to assist him: " …please try to find him a suitable wife, since he studies Torah diligently and has the potential to grow onwards and upwards… See that he gains recognition and respect, so that he should be successful in his search…".
R. Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam (1905-1994), rebbe of Sanz-Klausenburg. A foremost Torah and Chassidic leader in our times. In his first marriage, he was the son-in-law of the Atzei Chaim, rebbe of Sighet. His first wife and all their children were murdered in the Holocaust. Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda endured the worst possible sufferings at the hands of the Nazis, and later assisted in rebuilding Jewish and religious communal life in the DP camps in Germany. He then immigrated to the United States and rebuilt the Sanz Chassidic institutions – Batei Midrash, educational institutes and yeshivas. A decade later, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and established Kiryat Sanz in Netanya and in Jerusalem along with their numerous Torah and charity institutions. In his final years, he founded the Mifal HaShas, a global organization which encourages thousands of Torah scholars worldwide in their in-depth study of all Talmudic tractates. His teachings are recorded in Responsa Divrei Yatziv and Shefa Chaim.
