Jerusalem, 2 December, 2025 (TPS-IL) -- A newly surfaced letter attributed to Albert Einstein offers a rare, intimate look at the man behind the equations, including one striking note in which the physicist reflects with warmth and candor on a former research assistant who helped him work on the theory of relativity.

Discovered last week by Tel Aviv’s Gnazim Institute, the world’s largest archive of Hebrew literature, and shared exclusively with The Press Service of Israel, the document adds fresh texture to Einstein’s persona as both a towering scientist and a deeply human, sometimes sentimental figure.

The letter has not yet been authenticated but is most likely genuine, according to external expert opinion given to TPS-IL.
