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


LETTER SEVENTY-FIVE

With G-d's Help
22 Tammuz 5725

In honor of the Prseident of Israel, my eyes and heart, Mr. Sh. Z. Shazar, beloved in the eyes of Hashem like a wife to her husband. Because of the great force of his desire and longing to bind himself to the true King and Sage, who lives forever and shields Israel to raise them up from the belly of hell, from the utter depths of descent, from the extreme essence of physicality, higher and higher than all spirituality. May Hashem be a shield for you and cure and heal you and your household in perfection.

The main honor and greatness of the kingdom is precisely through humility. And the more humility the king has the more his kingdom spreads out. For this is the way of the kingdom: each time it must put humility before its honor and greatness. In the place of your greatness, there I find your humility, to come and to speak before you that which Hashem will put under my quill.

Hashem in His greatly hidden and secret ways and His methods that are hidden and concealed from every idea and every inquiry, has rained down upon the world a flood of fierce waters of heresies and atheism, from the cisterns of the Heavens, in these latter days. Until all the high mountains have been covered up, meaning the honored ones and the people of Hashem. And in His great pity He preceeded the cure and the salvation, and sent us a man like his heart, who found grace in His eyes, and He called his name Nachman, to say: this one will comfort us from our deeds and from the sadness of our hands. And He commanded us to build an ark of Truth and Faith. So that everyone who wants to be saved can come into its chambers and close its doors and hide in the shade of his awesome wisdom. For who will give praise and who will describe the exalted power of his might, who made wondrous with his wondrous wonders to prepare and to arrange sustainance and vitality for the people of his household and for all the souls of Israel, for every generation. That they may take delight and pleasure in the beuatiful splendor of the pleasantness of his teachings and his awesome stories, that were gathered from the field of most exalted wisdom, that have never yet been revealed in the world, that exist and are credible and help forever and for all eternity.

In the future The Holy One Blessd Be He will avenge the vengeance of His People from those prophets of falsehood who fill their stomachs with honor and arrogance. And who display themselves like Tzaddikim of the generation and hunt down precious souls and tread on them and tear them to pieces, with a foot of arrogance anf falsehood, and they blind the eyes of Israel from seeing the light of the true Leader, who reveals and illuminates the light of Hashem to everyone in the world, for every generation for eternity.

Know and believe that from the moment of the beginning of your existence in your mothers's womb it was decreed upon you by the Creator that you would be President over Israel, in this orphaned generation, in order that you have mercy on the People of Hashem with true mercy. And that with your great and straight intellect and your polished and glorious tongue you would teach the People the awesome Truth, unique in the world, that Hashem has revealed before your eyes with many reasons and wondrous means for seven years. And that you would illuminate the eyes of Israel, so that all of them would see the light of the True Tzaddik, who is the main vitality and existence of the whole Creation, and from whom will sprout the complete Redemption for the People of Israel and for the whole world, so that all will know Hashem and will give Him the Crown of the Kingdom.

We already have spoken somewhat about the great value of our bond of friendship and love, that really there does not exist in the whole world people who are brothers, faithful and true like us. This was from Hashem, from Heaven, in order that we merit to inform and publicize the name of the true Tzaddik in the world, upon which depends our main existence and hope. We need to guard ourselves greatly so that our love not become blemished, G-d forbid, even a hairsbreadth. And it is proper for us to hold onto the Truth, with wondrous love, with greater exaltation and greater determination, at every moment always.
