Editing Levi Yitzchak Schneerson (section)

== Attempted Immigration to Israel ==
Reb Levik tried to immigrate to the [[Eretz yisroel|Holy Land]] shortly after his brother Rabbi Shalom Shlomo Schneerson immigrated to Israel. Appropriate documents were submitted to the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and through them visas were approved for the Rabbi and Rebbetzin. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel announced this in a letter they sent to Rabbi Levi Yitzchak in Yekaterinoslav:

"1 Kislev 5686

To the honor of the famous Rabbi, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, Rabbi and Av Beit Din of Yekaterinoslav

Peace and blessing,

Your honor will receive, enclosed here, a letter from the District Governor, in response to our request for a visa for your honor and your family, according to which the British Affairs representative in Moscow was requested to give a visa for your honor and your family to come to Israel.

From now on your honor should approach there directly and will receive the visa without delay God willing.

We hereby note to your honor's attention that the visa period has been shortened recently, and therefore they need to be processed quickly, within the first three months after the notification about them is issued.

We inquire after their welfare and good, and await seeing you face to face in the Holy Land, soon God willing."

The immigration of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak and his family ultimately did not materialize, for a reason unknown to us today.
