(The Tzadik of Jerusalem, 1885-1969). Collection of interesting Autograph manuscripts, drafts of letters and notes on various topics, all in Hebrew.
ff. 16. Various sizes, various condition, mostly ink, one partially in pencil, one on letterhead partially in square letters in his characteristic beautiful hand.
(Jerusalem): n.d.
Contains notes and commentaries pertaining to repentance and the month of Elul, Chanukah, Passover, Jerusalem and the Kotel Ma’aravi, ethical instructions and poetic sayings, also some halachic matter citing R. Itzel of Ponivezh. Family matters include a four page draft to his son bemoaning the loss of his mother. Especially moving are several notes, written in a beautiful poetic Hebrew, written during the shelling of Jerusalem by the Arabs in 1948. “We are sitting in the cellar [in the home] of our grandmother Leah. Three families…the fear is great…each day worse than the previous. Our boys who are defending their homeland are oppressed for wanting to live. Synagogues and Torah Scrolls are desecrated by the enemy. The screams of the murdered and slaughtered should shake the foundations of the world… Let us pray the shelling should cease.”
