One page, small tear at blank margin. Mir, 26th Ellul, 1901. One of the very great Lithuanian Rabbis, Telz-born R. Eliyahu Baruch Kamai was appointed at the recommendation of the Beis HaLevi to serve as Rabbi of Karelitz. In 1899 he was called upon to succeed R. Chaim Leib Tikutinsky as Rosh Yeshiva of Mir, which heralded the beginning of a remarkable new era for the storied Yeshiva. R. Eliyahu Baruch’s astounding fluency in all works of Torah infused intense discipline across all levels of the yeshiva. His celebrated successor and son-in-law, R.
