Handwritten & Autographed Postcard with Best Wishes for Speedy Recovery by the Minchas Elazar. Opatija



Handwritten and autographed postcard with best wishes for a speedy recovery by the Admor Rabbi Chaim Elazar Shapiro, Av Beis Din of Munkacs and author of Minchas Elazar.

The admor’s handwriting and autograph appear on verso.

The front of the postcard is a handwritten letter by the famous gabbai of Munkacs Rebba Rabbi Chaim Dov Greenfeld who previously served his father the Darkei Teshuvah. He writes that he pens this letter at the behest of the
“Admor shlit”a who requested to inform that he is praying for…that the Master of Healing shall send her a speedy recovery swiftly from the heavens.”

The
Admor Harav Chaim Elazar Shapiro (1872-1937) was the Av Beis Din of Munkacs and venerable author of the Minchas Elazar. He was revered as one of the greatest Hungarian Chassidic Rebbes in the pre-Holocaust era and fought valiantly to preserve tradition. A son of the Darkei Teshuvah [a4] and direct descendant of the Bnei Yissachar, he was crowned Raavad of Munkacs during his father’s lifetime, and in 1914 as Rav and Admor of the city. He was a prolific author whose written legacy includes the 5-volume
Shu”t Minchas Elazar, Darkei Teshuvah al Hilchos Niddah, Darchei Chaim V’shalom; Likutei Divrei Torah Chaim V’shalom; Chamishah Ma’amaros; Os Chaim V’Shalom.

This postcard was sent from the Croatian convalescent town of Opatija, an area famous for its fresh, pristine air, where the Admor traveled at the behest of his doctors. At the time, Optija was annexed to Italy, hence the Italian postmark on the card.
