"Sure you know ... that I was accepted at the Mir Yeshiva as some kind of providence" - a very rare letter from the year 1921 with the signature and handwriting of Maran the ‘Mashgiach’, Rabbi Yechezkel Levinstein, to Rabbi Moshe Rosenstein, The Lomza Gaon
The letter is considered to be extremely rare as it was from the early life of the mashgiach from 1921, he also mentions his acceptance to the position of overseer at the Mir Yeshivah. Recommends a student who suits him to move to Lomza.
Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein known as Reb Chatzkel, (1885 - 18 Adar 1974) was the mashgiach ruchani of the Mir yeshiva, in Mir, Belarus and during the yeshiva's flight to Lithuania and on to Shanghai due to the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany in World War II. He was a leader of several yeshivas in Europe, America, and Israel, and raised several generations of Torah-observant Jewry. He was a disciple of R' Nachum Zev Ziv son of R' Simcha Zissel Ziv.
