An interesting letter from the 'Knesset Mordechai' of Sdigora to Rabbi Avraham Werner, after he received the book Tzitz Eliezer part 11, with an addition of 3 lines in the Admor's handwriting and signature.

In his words, the Rebbe writes that "I enjoyed it very much" [from the new part of the 'Tzitz Eliezer' that has just been released] and adds 50 Israeli pounds for the author, and since it is his custom to pay only for the printing costs of the book but not for the book itself, he requests that The owner of the Tzitz ElIezer will send him a few lines of a "A memorial gift" in his own handwriting, and multiply it with a blessing.

The Admor Rabbi Mordechai Shalom Yosef Friedman (1897-1979) The fourth Rebbe of the Sadigura family. Born to Rabbi Aharon Friedman, owner of "Kdushat Aharon", from Sadigura. After the war he was active in Agudat Israel, and in the first great meeting, when he was only 26 years old, he was appointed a member of the "World Executive Committee" of Agudat Israel and the president of the Torah Foundation. In 1923, he established the "Meshivat Nefesh" yeshiva in Przemyśl. In 1925 he began to send Hasidim to Eretz Yisrael, and in 1933 he visited Eretz Yisrael and in Lag B'Omer lit the fire with the traditional lighting in Meron. In Adar 1939 he visited Eretz Israel again, and on the advice of his uncle Rabbi Yisrael of Husiatin, he settled in Tel Aviv and opened a synagogue on Bezalel Yaffe Street. Died at the age of 83 on the 29th of Nisan 1979, and was buried in the Nahalat Yitzhak cemetery in Givatayim.
