An Emotional Letter from Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman
A letter from Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman regarding an orphan girl who wants to learn in the teachers' seminary in Krakow, and Rabbi Elchanan requests that they take her condition into consideration and give her a reduction in the school fees.
[1] Official postcard of the Ohel Torah Yeshiva of Baranowitz. 11*15cm. Entirely in his handwriting and with his signature.
Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman (1875-1941), Rosh Yeshiva of the Ohel Torah Yeshiva in Baranowitz, one of the great Rosh Yeshivas and Torah teachers of Lithuania in the pre-Holocaust generation, the Chofetz Chaim's main assistant in preserving the foundations of the religion and a dynamic activist in Agudat Yisrael. His scholarly books Kovetz He'arot and Kovetz Shiurim, are vital learning material in the Yeshiva world, and his philosophical articles are the cornerstone of a Torah worldview.
Here we see his concern for a Jewish girl who, despite being lacking in means is worthy of learning, become certified and succeeding.
A slight crease in the corner. A few stains. Very Fine condition.
