R. Zalman Sender Kahana Schapiro. To Rav Chaim Brisker! Including Unknown Historical Details about the Rabbanus of Brisk. Kobrin 1876
Long autograph letter by R. Zalman Sender Kahana-Schapiro to his cousin R. Chaim Ha’Levi Soloveitchik on the topic of “Issur Chal Al Issur” (see Chidushei Rav Zalman Sender Kodshim page 223; Chidushei Rabbeinu Chaim Ha’Levi on Krisus and Chidushei HaGrI”Z Ha’Levi on Krisus). He opens the letter by writing “I received your dear letter with great pleasure, your sweet Chidushim, even though they were few, quenched the thirst of my soul to hear your pleasant words”.
While the Torah portion of this letter is published, an unpublished section of the letter includes details of the Beis Halevy’s nomination as Rav of Brisk. R. Zalman Sender writes that he interceded on behalf of the Beis HaLevy with those who were opposed to the nomination.
R. Zalman Sender Kahana-Schapiro (1851-1923), was a close talmid of the Beis HaLevy and studied together with his cousin R. Chaim Brisker when they were both learning in Slutzk. He was one of the leading Rabbonim in Lithuania, serving as Rav in Aletsch, Kobrin and Krinik. His son was the famed D’var Avrohom of Kovno.
