Signature of Rabbi GEDALIA MOSHE of ZVHILL. 1948
A recommendation letter from Kupat Rabbi Meir Baal Haness to support Rabbi Gedalia Moshe Goldman - Admor of Zvhil from the funds of "Aid for the Poor of Israel".
Rebbe Gedalya Moshe of Zvhil [1887-1949] was the son of Reb Shlomke of Zvhill. Hundreds of people come to visit his grave every month to pray for anything that might be troubling them. The the story is told that a righteous man from the community once fell ill. One night, the departed rabbi appeared to him in a dream and said that if he came to his grave and prayed, and provided some support for the institutions of the Zvhil hassidim as well, then he would be healed. The man did as he was instructed in the dream and was indeed healed, so it is related, from which point on the grave has been a place of pilgrimage and prayer.
The Zvhil hassidic dynasty originated in the 19th century in what is now Ukraine. In 1926, the grand rabbi at the time, Rabbi Shlomo Goldman, left what was then the Soviet Union and came to live in Mandate Palestine. He was joined in 1937 by his son, Rabbi Gedalya Moshe, after he was released from incarceration by the Communist regime.
