Handwritten and Autographed Letter of Blessings by Rav Chuna Halberstam of Kolshitz
Handwritten and signed postcard from the Rebbe of Kolshitz, Rav Chuna Halberstam, a paternal and maternal great-grandson of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz.
The Rebbe writes, “May you be blessed from the source of blessings with a yeshuah, success and respectful parnassah, and a kosher Yom Tov in the most kosher way. Chuna Halberstam.”
In the margins of the letter and on its reverse side, there is an additional letter from his brother Rav Chaim Baruch Halberstam, in which he writes: “My brother, shlita, sends letters to me from Reisha … since he has no gabbaim or meshamshim like other Rebbes, as you know is his way.”
Renowned for his sanctity and purity, the Admor Rabbi Chuna of Kolshitz Hy”d (1884-1943) was one of the most illustrious scions of the glorious Sanzer dynasty. His great-uncle Rabbi Yeshaya of Chechnov, the youngest son of the Divrei Chaim, affirmed that Rav Chuna possessed many of the Divrei Chaim’s qualities and character traits. He gained repute as a miracle worker, causing thousands to flock to his door to seek his blessing, counsel, and salvation. He performed wonders in healing critically ill patients, who recovered through the power of his blessings.
