In honor of Vov (6th) Tishrei, the 50th Yartzeit of Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson the Rebbe’s mother, The Avner Institute presents a beautiful handwritten letter that Rebbetzin Chana wrote to Mrs. Esther Alperin A”h (Director of the Rebbe’s Shluchim in Brazil).
Mrs. Alperin shared a very special and unique relationship with the Rebbetzin, together with two photos from Rebbetzin Chana’s Levaya as well as from Paris in 1947 when the Rebbe traveled to pick us his mother to bring her to the United States.
With special thanks to Rabbi Yossi Alperin.

Let us hope that you will continue to succeed in all matters. I request that you write in the future in detail how your time has been spent and everything,
With a blessing for Kol Tuv I will conclude,
Chana Schneerson
Regards to your Husband.

Who is the other lady sitting next to Rebbetzin Chana?
ashreinu!
Looking from left to right:
R’ Bentche Shemtov a”h, R’ Hershel Slavin, R’ Aron Zakon a”h, R’ Yosef Chaim Slavin a”h (face partially hidden).
Continuing on the side of the table where only the backs are seen: the middle person who is leaning in towards the table the most, is R’ Zev Avrohom Slavin a”h (father of R’ Hershel and R’ Yosef Chaim a”h) and to his left with the black fur round hat is R’ Zev Avrohom Slavin’s mechuton – R’ Yitzchok Zakon a”h.
In front of the window, beard and glasses, R’ Michoel Lipsker OH.
I think even after mrs Alprein moved to Brazil she got letters, can anyone confirm this?
The last picture, Zalman schnersoson, bentizon shemtov, Zalman butman, shimke lazaroff is in this picture as well I don’t know we’re, he was at this event.
