Reb Itzikel was one of the most celebrated post-War Chassidic rabbis and many thousands made pilgrimages to him in Antwerp to receive his blessings and advice. A descendent of R. Elimelech of Lizhensk, R. Itzikel was a follower of the Grand Rabbi of Satmar, R. Joel Teitelbaum.
Of interest, the letter is written whereby the initial letter of the first four lines spell the word “Ahavah.”
