Two Letters – By Rebbe Ze'ev Wolf of Stryków and Rebbe Dov Berish of Biala – To Their Father, Rebbe Avraham of Ciechanów
Two letters sent to Rebbe Avraham Av Beit Din of Ciechanów, by his sons the rebbes:
· A letter handwritten and signed by Rebbe Ze'ev Wolf. Stryków, the 21st of Adar 1860.
In a letter to "My friend, my father, my teacher....", the son notifies his father of his journey to his son's wedding via the city of Ciechanów. He tells him that his wife will not travel with them to the wedding due to her state of health, G-d should send her a speedy complete recovery and should repay me with joyous occasions for my toil because I am also weak from so many troubles".
· Letter handwritten and signed by Rebbe Dov Berish. Biala, Tishrei 1865.
In a letter to "My respected beloved father Rebbe…the renowned tsaddik…", Rabbi Ze'ev Wolf tells his father of his purchase of a home in Biala and about the match he made for his son R' Aharon Zvi with the daughter of the wealthy Rabbi Fishel Litzbarsky of Mława, granddaughter of Rabbi Aryeh Leibush Charif the Rabbi of Polotsk.
The Rebbe of Stryków – Rabbi Ze'ev Wolf Landau (1807-1891), close disciple of Rebbe Mendeli of Kotzk who perpetuated the ways of the author of Chiddushei HaRim. In 1866, after the death of the Chiddushei HaRim, most of the Chassidim accepted the leadership of Rebbe Chanoch Henich of Alexander, but the minority began to travel to his father, Av Beit Din of Ciechanów. In 1878, after the death of his father, Rabbi Ze'ev Wolf was appointed Rebbe and thousands of Chassidim accepted his authority and leadership which was the Kotzk path – sharp with comprehension.
Rebbe Dov Berish Landau of Biala (1820-1876), the disciple of his great father and a Chassid connected to Rebbe Yitzchak of Warka and to his son Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Warka. His teacher, Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Warka was renowned for his infrequent speech. Rabbi Dov Berish who was his head disciple would explain the depth of his Rebbe’s intent in his concise words. In 1868, the Warka Rebbe died and most of the Chassidim followed Rebbe Dov Berish and appointed him rebbe. He used to teach also on weekdays which was not the custom of other rebbes. Some of his sons: Rebbe Aharon Zvi of Biala (died 1910), Rebbe Elimelech Menachem Mendel Landau of Stryków, a leading Rebbe in Poland and forefather of the Stryków Rebbes in our times.
