(Chief Rabbi of Hebron, 1881-1932). Autograph Letter Signed, in Yiddish, on letterhead, written to Mr. Yerachmiel (Richard) Wexler of Chicago (whose son was killed in the Hebron Massacre).
Eight pages.
Jerusalem: 5th Teveth, 1930.
Rabbi Slonim was one of the leading Chabad Rabbis in Eretz Israel. He writes here a heartbreaking detailed description of the violent events in Hebron of August 24th 1929, how he was viciously beaten, his children murdered and his precious library ransacked. Relates that he became close to Wexler’s son, daily discussing matters of Torah whilst he was a student in Hebron. Rabbi Slonim states that he used to be a “giver not a taker”, but in his dire need, he requests Wexler’s financial assistance to marry off his daughters who are orphaned from their mother.
