Two letters sent by Rebbe Yaakov David Kalisz, to Amshinov Chassidim in Tel Aviv.
1. Letter with wishes for a Gmar Chatima Tova for the New Year, signed by Rebbe "Yaakov David son of the rabbi of Amshinov". [Tishrei, 1937]. The margins contain an addition written and signed by the scribe who wrote the letter, the meshamesh bakodesh "Shalom HaCohen". The addition was written in continuation to a letter from Tamuz 1937 (see no. 2).
2. Long letter (2 pages) handwritten and signed by the meshamesh bakodesh R. "Shalom" HaCohen, and with the stamp of Rebbe "Ya'akov David Kalisz son of the Rebbe of Amshinov - rabbi of Żyrardow, Warsaw district". The letter is about funds sent from Chassidim in Eretz Israel to their Rebbe. Żyrardow, Tamuz 1937.
Rebbe Yaakov David Kalisz (1906-perished in the Holocaust in 1942), was the son of Rebbe Yosef of Amshinov and son-in-law of the son-in-law of Rebbe Avraham Mordechai Alter of Ger. He was an illustrious Torah scholar with exceptional proficiency in all parts of the Shulchan Aruch. He officiated as rabbi of the city of Żyrardow near Warsaw, and was appointed rebbe of Amshinov after his father’s passing. Although his chassidim wished him to relocate to Amshinov, the community of Żyrardow refused to relinquish their beloved rabbi. After much discussion, Rabbi Yaakov David served as rabbi of both communities.
