Letter with warm blessings "And now my blessing shall be received, that you shall be blessed abundantly from the source of blessings, with an abundance of blessing and success in all the works of his hands for good."
The Holy Admor Rebbi Avraham Elimelech Perlov of Karlin (1892-1943) was the son of Rebbi Yisrael of Stolin and son-in-law of his uncle Rebbi Mordechai Yosef of Zaltipoli. After his father died, his father’s chassidim wanted to crown him in accordance with his father’s wishes, but he refused, and only after pressure from his father-in-law and Rebbi Yisrael of Chortkov did he agree to be appointed as Admor in Karlin. He established the Ohr Yisrael yeshiva in Luninitz (Belarus) and Beit Aharon in Jerusalem, which still exists today.
His disciple, Rebbi Moshe Mordechai Beiderman of Lalov, expressed that he was the “Baal Shem Tov of his generation.” When the Nazis took over Karlin he was in Israel (he visited 4 times during his life), and despite the pleading of his chassidim he returned to Karlin in order not to abandon them and was sadly murdered in a Kiddush Hashem during the Holocaust Hy”d.
