Gut Yom Tov

 

 



 

THE YOM TOV OF כ"ו תמוז                   

TONIGHT, time to put on the Shtreimel & party                          
 


R. Shmuel Gurary, a wealthy Chabad Chasid, purchased 
hundreds of letters of the
בעל שם טוב that were found in the
*Kherson Geniza.
He presented them to
his Rebbe the מהרש"ב הרב שלום דוב בער זצ"ל


In the 1930s, 
הרב יוסף יצחק שניאורסאהן זצ"ל  (Frierdiger Rebbe) 
published some three hundred letters, purportedly from 
the pen of the
בעל שם טוב & his Talmidim. in the Chabad journal, "התמים". 

There are two letters in the
התמים where the בעל שם טוב
and some of his Talmidim declared 
כ"ו תמוז as a 
Yom Tov & is to be celebrated by all future generations
 
מעתה ועד עולם -- יום משתה ושמחה בכל אתר ואתר 

The Kherson Geniza was proven to be a complete forgery
Chabad are the only ones who still considers them authentic

 

 

 

 

 

In letter # קעד, it states that Bishop Skolski was instrumental in helping to win the debate.
Wikipedia lists all the Bishops of Lviv (Lemberg) from 1375 to 2008.
There is no mention of a Bishop Skolski in the entire list.
The Bishop in the year 1759 (תקי"ט) was

Władysław Aleksander Łubieński (1703–1767) was archbishop of Lwów (1758–59) and primate of Poland (1759–1767)
