In honor of the President of Israel, a person of my Covenant, my heart, and my flesh, Mr. Sh. Shazar, who draws in the spirit of wisdom that exits from the mind of the Tzaddik, the True Sage. From one end of the world to the other there has not arisen one like him, who destroys and nullifies the falsehood and spirit of folly and mistakes of the atheism and false faiths that are destroying the world. May Hashem remove from you all types of illnesses and all types of sickness and give you long life, good life, with which the "Beggars" [see Rebbe Nachman's Stories, "The Seven Beggars"] blessed the holy couple. In your days may Yehuda and Yerushalayim [Judah and Jerusalem] be saved.
Know, my brother, that the amazing quotation at the end of the verse, "a man will go in the name of his god; and we shall go in the name of Hashem our G-d forever and ever," that came out of your mouth and your warm heart with deep wisdom, with great warmth and enthusiasm, when you met with the famous [Christian] pilgrim, made a great impression and noise in all the worlds, and all of them admire and respect you without limitation.
Look, my brother, my bone and my flesh: from the great and strong love that is in my heart for you, I place before you the good life of the True Tzaddik, who is the generality of all the awesome Seven Beggars. And you should choose this true life, in order that you live and have long years in your Government for the sake of the name and splendor of Israel, in the Land that Hashem gave us with a strong hand and with signs and with wonders in Egypt and Jordan and Syria and all the peoples who surround us from all sides to destroy us, G-d forbid. Do this, my brother, and save yourself like a bird from the snare. Suppress yourself and your honor like a doorstep for the True Tzaddik, and remove sleep from your eyes and drowsiness from your eyelids, to search for and to seek with every ounce of your strength and to multiply your prayers and petitions before Hashem Yisborach, that He should have pity and mercy upon us, that we should find speedily the Tzaddik, the True Leader, who is of very very great stature. The aspect of Moses-Messiah, who has the power to heal fatally ill people like us today, in these generations, at the end of the Exile. And who works and endeavors to rectify our souls and to illuminate us with Divine comprehension, to bring us to the good purpose for which we were created.
The one who remembers you always, at all times and at every moment, and who prays for your welfare and your healing in body and soul.
Yisroel Dov Odesser
