Sermon by Rabbi Eliyahu Buchko, Rosh Yeshivah of Montreux
Lengthy sermon covering four large pages, all handwritten by the gaon Rabbi Yerachmiel Eliyahu Buchko, rosh yeshivah of Montreux in the Swiss Alps. It was a lighthouse and shelter for many of the elite of the Torah world while Europe was burning. The sermon is for Shabbat Chazon and Shabbat Nachamu. Autograph, with corrections and supplements.
Rabbi Yerachmiel Eliyahu Buchko [1888-1956], was the founder and rosh yeshivah of the Etz Chaim yeshivah in Montreux, Switzerland. He was a disciple of the Lomza yeshivah and then of Novordok under the Alter of Novardok. At the age of 23, he married the righteous Rivka Sternbuch of Switzerland. He did not want to earn his livelihood through Torah, so his wife engaged in business. In Switzerland, he founded the Etz Chaim yeshivah (eventually renamed "Heichal Eliyahu" after him) which was a lighthouse for many of the elite of the Torah world while Europe was burning. During the Holocaust he was occupied with rescuing Jews. He visited the State of Israel many times. He was a member of Agudat Yisrael, an exceptional figure in which brilliance, life-wisdom and pleasantness all harmoniously integrated. His books include Ohr HaYahadut, Zmanim U'Moadim and more.
