Letter from Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank, Rabbi of Jerusalem


letter written and signed in the hand of the chief rabbi of Jerusalem, the gaon Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank, to the rosh yeshivah of Etz Chaim, Rabbi Yechiel Michel Tukachinsky.


The letter contains a recommendation to come to the aid of the gaon R' Mordechai Jaffe Schlesinger, previous Av Beit Din of Eisenstadt, who was saved from the claws of the evil ones, may their names be blotted out, who has ascended to the Land and has no source of livelihood. The gaon Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank requests from him "to absorb him into the position we discussed." Cheshvan, 1949.

The gaon Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank [1873-1961] was the author of the book series Har Tzvi, which was named for him. The gaon Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank served as chief rabbi of Jerusalem and was one of the leading adjudicators of his generation, successor to Rabbi Shmuel Salant as member of the beit din.

[1] letter, 27 cm. Ink on official stationery, and in his hand and with his signature.
