Holy of holies: a filament of straw from the bed of the Rebbe Elimelech of Luzhansk.
“For preservation, blessing, and success”, a piece of straw upon which the Tzaddik Rabbi Elimelech of Luzhansk slept.

A thin piece of straw, 1cm long, laminated inside a designed card. On the back is an explanation of the yichus: “I write word-for-word as I was told by our fathers…”. How the straw arrived in the heir’s family, an important and well-known family known for their possession of this holy item. At the end is the stamp of Rabbi Yitzhak Pesach Shmerler, shlita, a descendant of the Rebbe of Luzhansk.

Size of the card: 9.5x6.5cm.

Yichus of the Shmerler family to the Tzaddik Rabbi Elimelech:
