A Special Letter of Blessing from the Holy Brothers, the Admorim of Rachmastrivka, in the Name of Their Father, the Holy Rebbi Menachem Nachum. 1935.

A Unique Letter from the Three Admorim of Rachmastrivka. This letter is filled with warm blessings from the Holy Rabbi Menachem Nachum of Rachmastrivka and his holy sons, the Holy Rabbi Avraham Dov and the Holy Rabbi David of Rachmastrivka. It was sent to Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Kliers of Tiberias.

Jerusalem, 8th of Nissan, 1935.

The letter was sent a few months before the holy Rebbi Nachum of Rachmastrivka ascended to the heavenly realms. Due to his weakness, he signed the letter only with his holy seal, while his two sons and successors, the Holy Rebbi Avraham Dov and the Holy Rebbi David, signed in their own handwriting. The entire letter was written in the singular on behalf of their father, the Holy Rebbi Menachem Nachum of Rachmastrivka, on his personal stationery and with his personal seal.

"May the Almighty grant them a good and pleasant life, and always sound health, and an abundance of blessings and elevated success in all that he does. May God help him... and may his business rise higher and higher on the heights of success, and may the Almighty bless him in all his matters and desires, both materially and spiritually, and may the Almighty fulfill all the details of his wishes."

The Holy Rebbi Menachem Nachum 'Rebbi Nachumche' [1843–1936]. One of the most prominent Admorim of his generation. He was the son and successor of the Holy Rebbi Yochanan, the founder of the Rachmastrivka dynasty, son of the "Maggid of Chernobyl, " grandson of the "Meor Einayim, " of blessed memory. He married Chava, the daughter of Rabbi Zev Auerbach, a descendant of Rebbi Avraham Dov of Chmelnik, and later married the daughter of Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Hornstein of Berdichev. He had a special connection with "the common people of Israel" and was attentive to their troubles. Following the customs of the Rachmastrivka Admorim, he conducted himself with humility and modesty. Due to his great humility, he would often lead the "tishes" together with his brother, "two kings with one crown." In 1926, he immigrated to Jerusalem, where he served as one of the city's leading Admorim. After his passing, he was buried in the Mount of Olives cemetery.

The Holy Rebbi David of Rachmastrivka [1872–1951].  He was also one of the prominent Admorim of his generation, the son and successor of his father, Rebbi Nachumche. The Holy Rebbi married Shifra, the daughter of Rebbi Avraham Yehoshua Heschel Twersky of Skver. His leadership style was similar to that of his father, and due to his great humility, he too led the "tishes" together with his brother, a practice rare to the point of being almost unheard of in the history of Hasidism. He passed away in Jerusalem and was buried in the Sanhedria cemetery in Jerusalem. His son was Rebbi Yochanan of Rachmastrivka, father of Rebbi Yisrael Mordechai Zt''l, the father of the current Admor, Rebbi David, may he live long.

The Holy Rabbi Avraham Dov of Rachmastrivka [1865–1941]. A pious, holy, and ascetic individual. For decades, he did not eat meat, and the great righteous people would turn to him for blessings of salvation and mercy. He was the son-in-law of Rabbi Ephraim Margolis of Matziv (son-in-law of Rebbi Avraham Twersky of Trisk), married to his daughter Sheva Twersky. He was well-versed in Jewish philosophy and was known for his restraint, rarely expressing himself. His family remained in Russia. After their father's passing, the two brothers together led the Hasidic community with love and harmony.
