Nice letter by R' Chaim Leib Shmuelevitz, 1972.
Letter written and signed by R' Chaim Shmuelevitz. Written on behalf of R. Yosef Rosenberg, R' Chaim writes that they were together in “Golus Shanghai” and he can attest to the fact that R' Rosenberg is an excellent Mohel.
R' Chaim Leib Shmuelevitz (1902-1979), was a son of R. Alter Shmuelevitz, a son-in-law of the Alter of Novardok. He learned under his father and then under R. Shimon Shkop in Grodno where he was known as a prodigy, being appointed as the Yeshiva’s youngest Maggid Shiur. In 1925, he joined the Mir Yeshiva and in 1930, he married the daughter of its Rosh Yeshiva R. Eliezer Yehuda Finkel. In 1936, he was appointed as a Rosh Yeshiva of the Mir Yeshiva, which he led with tremendous devotion throughout the tumultuous exile in Shanghai and later through its reestablishment in Yerusholayim.
With stationary and stamp.
Size: 20 by 26.5 cm.
