RUCH, YEHOSHUA ZELIG (Rosh Yeshiva Lomza, 1879-1941).
Autograph Letter Signed, written in Hebrew on letterhead to R. Reuven Katz, Rosh Yeshiva of the Lomza branch in Petach Tikva.
Lomza, Erev Shabbos Parshash Veyechi, 1935.
R. Yisrael Zissel Dvoretz (1885-1968) was an aide to R. Nosson Zvi Finkel, the Alter of Slabodka, especially with efforts to develop the nascent Yeshiva in Chevron. He was also instrumental in the establishment of a number of other Yeshivos in Eretz Israel, including Tel Aviv’s Heichal HaTalmud, Petach Tikva’s Ohr Yisrael and the Shomrei Torah network. When R. Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn visited Eretz Israel, it was Dvoretz who acquired the permission for the Rebbe to enter the usually restricted Ma’arath HaMachpelah.
