(Letters from Rav Oddesser to Zalman Shazar, former President of Israel)


LETTER SEVENTY-TWO

With G-d's Help
25 Sivan 5725

In honor of the President of Israel, the daughter of my eye and my heart, Mr. Sh. Z. Shazar, who is beloved in the eyes of Hashem like an only son, like a precious son. And Who boasts about him in all the worlds, over the greatness of his desire and burning heart to seek refuge under the wings of the true Leader and Sage, who raises up all the souls from the belly of hell, from the utter essence of physicality higher and higher than all the spirituality. Blessing and life and peace.

The main honor and greatness of the kingdom is through humility precisely. And the more humility the king has, the more his kingdom spreads out. In the place of your greatnesss there I find your humility, to be able to come and to speak before you that which Hashem has put beneath my quill. Know my brother and believe, that from the moment of the beginning of your existence in you mother's womb it was decreed upon you by the Creator that you would be President over Israel. In order that you have mercy on Hashems's People, with true mercy. And that with the greatnes of your straight intellect and your polished and glorious tongue you would teach the People the awesome Truth that Hashem has revealed before your eyes in many amazing ways, through miracle and wonder, for the last seven years. And that you should open the eyes and hearts of Israel, so that all will see and will understand the real Truth that is stored away and hidden and concealed from the eye of everyone, that is the main life-force and sustaina nce of the whole Creation, and from whom will sprout forth the Final Redemption of Am Yisroel and the entire world, so that all will know Hashem and will give Him the kingdom's crown.

I already have written to you some concerning the love that Hashem has made between us, in which there are not to be found in all the world people who are faithful and true brothers like us. This was from Hashem, from Heaven; but we need to guard ourselves greatly that the love not become blemished, G-d forbid, even by a hairsbreadth. For it is proper for us to love each other with extra strength and vigor, since we have merited to have a certain portion in the publicity and revelation of the light of the true Tzaddik in the world, upon which depends the rectification of the world in perfection.

Your faithful and loving friend, who seeks your peace and welfare, and who prays always for your health and success in body and soul, for length of days and good years.

Yisroel Dov Odesser
