to his son the Mittler Rebbe:
"The angel Michael may be shamed regarding his advocacy on behalf of Jews
compared to our Mechutan the Berditshever Rav.
The fact that the mechutan, the Berditshever Rav's advocacy on behalf of
Jews is higher than that of the angel Michael is nothing novel.
Because the Mechutan is a soul, and the Michael is an angel, and a soul is
higher and wiser than an angel.
Hashem built above a Heichal Ha'Zechus, a sanctuary of merits in the
heavenly realms created from the Mechutan, the Berditshever rav's advocacy
on behalf of Jews.
And every Jews which advocates on behalf of another Jewish soul no matter in
which body it is and say a chapter of Tehillim properly, this all enter the
chamber of merits above called the Heichal Hazechus and they will be be
helped, each one according to their needs.
The Mechutan's advocacy on behalf of Jews was taken from three or four Torah
lessons which he heard from our Rebbe the Maggid of Mezritch from the
grandfather, the Holy Ba'al Shem Tov regarding the concept of Ahavas
Yisroel, love for a fellow Jew.
The great Ahavas Yisroel the Mechutan had is not comparable to that which
our grandfather (the Ba'al Shem Tov) had. The grandfather said that we must
have self sacrifice for Ahavas Yisroel, even for a Jew we have never even
seen before.
And so it is the greatness of the concept of love for a fellow Jews is and
the merit of this Mitzvah is impossible to measure and happy and
praiseworthy is he who toils for this Mitzvah.
