R. Yaakov Kammenetsky. Toronto. - Autograph letter by R. Yaakov Kammenetsky to the Ezras Torah organization requesting a receipt for a donor in Toronto. In his inimitable style R.

Yaakov Kamenetzky (1891-1986), was born in Lithuania and studied in the famed Slabodka Yeshiva for many years. He was renowned as a great Talmid Chochom, Posek and for his refined character. He served as Rav in Tzitavyan, before immigrating to Canada where he served as a Rov in Toronto. He later moved to New York becoming Rosh Yeshiva at Yeshiva Torah Vo’daas. He served a major leadership role in establishing Orthodox American Jewry, guiding the community until his passing in 1986. 14 by 18.5 cm. Very fine condition. Opening bid $300
