Extremely Rare! Kol Abirei Haro'im. R. Tzvi Hirsch Kalischer - R. Elya Gutmacher. Unrecorded! Circa 1870.

Booklet of letters by R. Tzvi Hirsch Kalischer, primarily regarding Yishuv Eretz Yisroel. This booklet includes the letters sent by R. Kalischer to numerous Rabbonim, including R. Yitzchok Dov Bamberger and R. Ezriel Hildesheimer. One of the letters is co-signed by R. Elya Gutmacher of Greiditz.

R. Eliyahu Gutmacher (1796-1875), the revered Rav of Greiditz and Talmid of R. Akiva Eiger was renowned as a saintly Tzaddik whose piety matched his great scholarship as well as a miracle worker. He was the address for many downtrodden individuals seeking his blessing as well as scholars who sought his religious counsel.
R. Tzvi Hirsch Kalischer (1795-1874), was a prize student of R. Yaakov of Lisa (Chavas Da’as), and R. Akiva Eiger. He served as Rav in the community of Thorn for over 40 years and famously refused any remuneration, being supported instead by means of a small business run by his wife. He authored numerous seforim, including Drishas Tzion, published in 1866, in which he outlined his ideas for Yishuv Eretz Yisrael both from a halachic and a practical point of view. He is widely considered to have been one of the most influential personalities behind the founding of the new Yishuv.
