Body: Dear friend, I received your dear composition, some time ago. I do not need to explain to your honor the nature of the joy of my heart to see your glorious work. It is a sign of fabulous diligence, which is a testament to your true love for the ancient luminaries of the Torah. This encapsulates all of the life of our spirit, and these are visible at every corner of your dear composition. This also demonstrates the quality of your major work on the whole publication, which filled my heart with the joy of salvation. Continue to succeed, my dear, be prominent in Efrat and have a name in Beit Lechem of the gates (a sophisticated play on words from Rut 4:11 and Shoftim 5:8, which is very hard to convey in translation), the gates of Torah and the thoughts of holy scholars.

Congratulations on New Rabbinical Position – #331
Date and Place: 25 Elul 5670 (1910), Yafo
Recipient and Background: Rav Yaakov Moshe Charlop, upon being appointed the rabbi of the new Sha’arei Chesed neighborhood of Jerusalem. I have seen earlier dating for his appointment to this position and do not know if he was appointed in stages.
Body: My heart is joyful with the good news that, thank G-d, "he who guarded the fig tree will eat its fruit" (Mishlei 27:18). May you stand in good health, "well-fed" and fresh, as you look after the sacred on the holy mountain until the time that a new song will be written, when the Temple will return to the holy city on the lofty, holy mountain.
May you be blessed as you enter the position of the rabbinate within the holy community, and may all enjoy the light of your Torah and your fear of Hashem. May the pleasantness of Hashem be upon you and upon them. "As soon as a Torah scholar is present, there is blessing" (see Berachot 42a). Fortunate are your congregants, that their lot fell upon a righteous man, a man among men with a pure heart and a straight path, a person who has everything in the realm of Torah and pure fear of Hashem with excellent attributes.
Please send these sincere words of blessing to the holy community who "encamp around your flag."

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
