== In London == In the first period of his stay in London, on 21 Adar Sheni 5692, the Rebbe Rayatz writes to him:<blockquote>"I received your letter from the 5th of Pekudei... and I was happy to hear about your good health, and that thank God you obtained permission for your household to [also leave Russia and follow you]. May Hashem make their journey successful so that everything will be in order, and may Hashem protect your honored sons Mr. Moshe and Yaakov David who remain for now in their place, and may Hashem help them soon obtain permission to come to you successfully."</blockquote>The Rebbe Rayatz continues with detailed instructions about sending hundreds of Kimcha D'Pischa packages to Russia. Again, the Rebbe Rayatz writes to him a few weeks later: "I received your letter from the 3rd of Shemini. I am very happy that the Rebbetzin and your two sons are already outside [Russia], and may Hashem help soon to gladden their hearts that their sons who remained there will soon be able to come to them." Rabbi Abramsky is mentioned in the Rebbe Rayatz's letters regarding numerous topics. The connection between them was close and consistent. Examples of matters discussed in the letters: World Committee of Rabbis to help Russian Jewry. Appointment of Rabbi Abramsky as one of the committee members (27 Menachem Av 5701, letter #1505). A day of worldwide public fasting, initiated by the Rebbe and signed by Rabbi Abramsky (11 Elul 5701, letter #1520). In 5702, he worked together with the Rebbe Rayatz to assist Russian Jewry with Kimcha D'Pischa. On 3 Iyar 5707 (letter #3029), the Rebbe Rayatz wrote to him: "Honored friend, the rabbi and gaon, renowned and famous for praise and glory among the geonim of Yaakov, possessor of outstanding qualities, Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky," the letter concerns the visit of Rabbi Shmaryahu Gurary to Europe. On 15 Marcheshvan 5708 (letter #3127), the Rebbe Rayatz writes to Rabbi Ben Zion Shem Tov who was staying in London: "Surely you visited... the renowned gaon Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky, give my regards and tell him my blessing." On Erev Rosh Hashanah 5709, the Rebbe Rayatz writes to Rabbi Abramsky that he enjoyed hearing from Rabbi Ben Zion Shem Tov "about the dedicated work of your honor for the benefit of the public in general, in spreading Torah publicly in particular, and in bringing close Anash and the Tmimim refugees, and the help he extends to them in settling in his country." In letter #3788 from 29 Teves 5710, the Rebbe Rayatz writes to Rabbi Shem Tov to invite Rabbi Abramsky to take part in a committee he is establishing in London for strengthening Judaism. Rabbi Abramsky's son related: When Chabad chassidim, led by Rabbi Ben Zion Shem Tov (whom I knew quite well) arrived from Moscow to London in 5708, my father helped them, and Rabbi Shem Tov was a frequent visitor at my father's home.
