Starting in 5717 (1957), Rabbi Odesser initiated a correspondance with the President of Israel, Mr. Zalman Shazar, to urge him to return to G-d and, specifically, to embrace the teachings of Rabbi Nachman. President Shazar, who had been raised in a religious family but later strayed from the path of Jewish observance, eventually accepted Rabbi Odesser's advice, becoming an observant Jew and a follower of Rabbi Nachman. Mr. Shazar, who, as a President, had been the object of much wrath from religious Jewry because of his intensely secular policies, once remarked that if Rabbi Nachman's teachings could influence him they could influence anyone. Rabbi Odesser's letters to President Shazar, spanning some sixteen years (1957-1973), were originally published by President Shazar himself and recently were republished in the book, Ibey Hanachal.

(Likutay Tefillos 1:76) Extracted from 'The Letter from Heaven' by the Keren of Rabbi Israel Dov Odesser zatzal
