The distribution of Kehot texts in Eretz Yisrael

No. 217

The letter was addressed to R. Yaakov Yisrael Zuber, an active communal Rabbi in Sweden.

{Adar, 5706}

Greetings and blessings,

A response to your letter of 2 Shvat and a package of books has already been sent to you. I am sure you will affirm that you received them at the appropriate time.

I am now approaching you with a personal request. My esteemed mother is presently in Russia. We have a strong desire that she come here (or to Eretz Yisrael where my brother[372] lives). What is most important is that she should be able to leave Russia at the earliest possible opportunity. Now, receiving an immigration visa to [America] or to Eretz Yisrael requires an extended period of time. Perhaps there is a possibility for her to receive a visa to enter your country until all the efforts here and in Eretz Yisrael are completed. You certainly are aware of the attitude that prevails there. [Accordingly,] this entire matter must be brought about through an external initiative and not from my mother at all. For an understanding person, enough has been said.

It is obvious that I will take financial responsibility for all the expenses associated with this. To save time, I am including her name, age, [and other particulars].

I would also ask you to send her - on my account - a package of matzos and food for Pesach. At the outset, I send you my thanks for this.

I heard that Mr. Chasdan is surprised that I did not answer his letter. But for the entire time that I have been here, I have not received a letter from him.

[While] waiting for your reply, I conclude with the blessing: "Immediately to teshuvah; immediately to Redemption,"
