Nice letter by R' Yosef Eliyahu Henkin, NY 1954
R' Yosef Eliyahu Henkin (1881- 1973), was born in Klimavichy and studied at the Slutzker Yeshiva under Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer. Known from a young age as brilliant and extremely diligent, he received Semicha from R. Meltzer, as well as from R. Yaakov Dovid Wilovsky (RIDBA”Z), R. Boruch Ber Leibowitz and R. Yechiel Michel Epstein (Oruch HaShulchon). After serving as Rav in a number of Russian towns, he immigrated to America in 1922. Upon his arrival, he was quickly recognized as one of the pre-eminent Poskim in the U.S.A. Renowned as a tremendous Talmid Chochom as well as great Tzaddik, in 1925 he became the director of Ezras Torah, directing the distribution of millions of dollars assistance to the needy, although he personally lived extremely frugally.
