Letter of extraordinary & amazing blessings to his flock of Chassidim urging them to give money to his emissary R. Yitzchok Pasternak of Tarnopol who is traveling on his behalf to raise money for the upcoming wedding of his youngest daughter Chava to the Holy Rebbe Zvi Aryeh of Zlotopoli.

He is also inviting them to take part in the wedding celebrations.

"יתן ד’ שתהי’ שמחתינו שלימה ורצויה מן השמים, ומשמחתינו זו ישפיע ד’ שמחה וברכה השפעת כל טוב ישועות ונחמות עלינו ועל כל אחב"י"

"ויתברכו כולם בחיים ארוכים ובריאות מתמדת שפע ברכה והצלחה…. בני חיי ארוכא ומזוני רוויחא ובמלוי משאלותיו הפרטים בנצחיות"

He continues ויואיל אלקי שיהא עת רצון והתעוררות רחמי שמים והמשכת חסדים טובים ששון וישע רב על כל ישראל ככל הטוב הנועד והמקוה לבית ישראל

Letters from his years that he sat as king of his extensive court in Chortkov are much much rarer than the ones written after he fled to Vienna.

The Holy Rebbe Yisroel Freidman of Chortkov [1854-1934] the son of Rebbe David Moshe of Chortkov and the son-in-law of his uncle the Holy Rebbe Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura, who were each, the sons of the Holy Rebbe Yisroel of Ruzhyn. His mother was the daughter of the Holy Rebbe Aharon of Chernobyl.

Thousands came to his court, headed by leading rabbis, Poskim and Geonim, such as Rabbi Meir Shapira of Lublin, and Rabbi Meir Arik of Tarnow. Due to the upheavals of World War I, the Rebbe left Galicia and re-established his court in Vienna.

He was one of the founders of the worldwide Agudas Yisroel, which he saw as a way to raise the crown of the Torah and Jewry everywhere and bring Klal Yisroel closer to their Father in Heaven. He served as president of Mo’etzes Gedolei HaTorah.
