5715-1955, the Rebbe sent a letter to Rabbi Aryeh Levin, known as “the tzaddik of Jerusalem”, applauding his efforts to assist prisoners and poor people. “It is your great fortune that by divine providence you have the ability to do this,” the Rebbe wrote. “Without a doubt, your love of a fellow Jew will also bring the people you are in contact with to have a greater love towards G-d and his Torah.”
