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


LETTER SEVENTY-SIX

With G-d's Help
12 Kislev 5726

In honor of the President of Israel, my heart and flesh, Mr. Sh. Z. Shazar, who has a great soul, hewn from a very high place. And she is very precious in the eyes of Hashem. And you allowed her to search in the secret chambers of the supernally high wisdom, that the True Sage revealed, in order to return the whole world from evil to good. Blessing and peace and long life.

Do not forget always to be happy, and to give thanks and praise to Hashem for all the kindesses and miracles and wonders that He did with you. He took you upon eagles wings and brought you to the Truth, such an awesome wonder, that never before was revealed from the days of the creation of the world. And he raised up your horn over all the People, and chose you to be President of Israel, in this impoverished generation. By which you are composed of all the souls of Israel, and all of them are dependent on you, like a fetus in its mother's womb, for the body is connected and clinging to the head and is drawn and goes after it in every place. And therefore you have a great responsibility, and a great and holy responsibility has fallen upon you, to show mercy to Israel, to give up your life and to nullify your honor and your greatness with the essence of nullification. And to suffer all types of disgrace and shame for the sake of the benefit and the salvation of Israel, to try with all the strength that is in your hand to glorify and to publicize in the whole world the great awesome force of the strength and might of the Sage, the true Leader, who lives and exists forever, who is the one and only and unique King over all Israel for all generations. And he is the heart of the world, upon whom depends the life and existence of the whole Creation, and the whole world was only created just for him, in order that he would fill the whole world with the light of wisdom and knowledge to know and to recognize Hashem and to serve Him in truth with a complete heart.
