Rare Letter handwritten and signed by the Holy Gaon Rabbi Avraham Grodzinsky. [1930] - Rare Letter handwritten and signed by the Holy Gaon Rabbi Avraham Grodzinsky. [1930] Rabbi Avraham Grodzinsky (1884-1944), Student of the Lomzhe and Radin Yeshivas. When he was 17, he went to study at the ”Knesses Yisroel” Yeshiva headed by the Saba of Slabodka and became one of his leading disciples. He worked on acquiring Mussar, Tikkun HaMidos and deep study. He would repeat the lessons of the Saba before the students of the yeshiva with great precision and served as the right hand of his educational work. After World War I, Rabbi Avraham joined the board of the yeshiva and started giving lessons to its students. He was sent by the Saba with the first group of students to take care of the yeshiva in the Land of Israel. When he returned to Slabodka in 1927 he became the spiritual director of the yeshiva. After the passing of his wife, he took care of the household and educated his eight orphan children at the same time as caring for the Yeshiva. During World War II, he was active in Kovno with Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky of Vilna, assisting Jewish refugees and organizing an escape route for them. After Lithuania was conquered by the Germans, he continued to study Torah in secret in his house, together with additional rabbis. After the Germans discovered the bunker he was hiding in at the Slabodka Ghetto, he was cruelly beaten and was admitted to the hospital of the ghetto. In Tamuz 1944 the Germans burned the hospital with its residents and hundreds of Jewish patients including Rabbi Avraham were killed on Kiddush Hashem.
