R. Moshe Yechiel HaLevy Epstein/Ozserover Rebbe. Detailing the Yichus of the Boruch Ta’am! - Extremely rare autograph letter by R. Moshe Yechiel Epstein (1889-1971), thoroughly documenting the “Yichus” of his ancestor the Boruch Ta’am. R. Boruch Frankel-Thumim (1760-1828), was known from a young age as a child prodigy with a lightning quick grasp, combined with great piety and exceptional diligence. He was a talmid of R. Meshulam Igra. He served as Rav in Vishnitza, where he established a Yeshiva, and from 1800, in Leipnik where in addition to his rabbinical duties, he led a pre-eminent Yeshiva. World famous as one of the most prominent Talmidei Chachomim of his generation, he was held in awe by his rabbinical contemporaries as well as the masses. He was the father in law of R. Chaim Halberstam of Tzanz (Divrei Chaim). R. Moshe Yechiel Epstein (1889 – 1971), was a son of R. Shloime of Ozserov and was renown from a young age as a tremendous masmid and Talmid Chochom.
