This is a quote of the lines written in the Rebbe's own handwriting: "The writer wrote in short - my intent was to bless you...in all your endeavors for the sake of G-d, all your endeavors should meet with blessing and success. Your friend …".
Rebbe Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam (1905-1994), the Rebbe of Klausenberg Sanz, was a leading Torah and Chassidic figure in our days. His first marriage was to the daughter of the Rebbe, author of Atzei Chaim of Siget. His first wife and all their children were murdered in the Holocaust. Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda endured the worst possible sufferings at the hands of the Nazis, and later assisted in rebuilding Jewish and religious communal life in the the DP camps in Germany. He then immigrated to the US and rebuilt the Sanz Chassidic institutions - Batei Midrash, educational institutes and yeshivas. A decade later, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and established Kiryat Sanz in Netanya and in Jerusalem along with their numerous Torah and chesed institutions. During the last years of his life, he founded the Mifal HaShas, a global organization of thorough study of all the Talmudic tractates by thousands of Torah scholars all over the world. Part of his Torah teachings were printed in the books Divrei Yatziv responsa and Shefa Chaim.
