Description

Concerning the receipt of support from Ezra Kostrometzky and offering profuse blessings for success in his endeavors.

summary

Unique in the annals of Chassidim, the Yenukah ("Child Rebbe"), was crowned Rebbe aged just five years following the premature death of his father R. Asher. The young boy was guided by a mentoring Chassidic elder until aged 13, whereafter he took over the reins of leadership. In adulthood he more than fulfilled the aspirations of his youth and was highly regarded as a wise and erudite counselor by his followers. See A. Ben-Ezra, HaYenukah MiStolin (1951)
