It has a date of the 12th on the letter not the 2nd. However the biblical date on that version is wrong. 2025 is 5785 in the Hebrew calendar whereas the letter on that site has it as 5787.
Additionally the formatting on the letter is completely different. I was trying to overlay the two images in Photoshop to look for any changes but the entire thing is formatted differently and the stamp is in a different place.
The text of the letter is the same so it confirms the Rabbi did write this at least.
Someone editing the date to make it look suspicious would be plausible except I do not see why they’d reformat the text and move the stamp. Also does not explain why the biblical date is wrong by two years on that site. Weird.

So wouldn’t the obvious observation would be the date was altered to get people talking?
Is there anyway we can confirm that was the actual date? Anyone can easily just change the date and post it to cause a ruckus.

What post? Where?
So we learned of this through Charlie’s wife?
Wtf?
I have seen this a few times through yesterday. It is strange if true.
WTF
If you get one of those letters maybe stay inside for a bit
There is no way that is real. But if it is….
I tried to fact check this and found an image of the letter here:
