R. Meir Karelitz/ Poalei Agudas Yisroel (PAI).
Long autograph letter by R. Meir Karelitz to R. Yosef Gurwitz of Melbourne, Australia. In the letter, R. Meir describes his recent involvement in the Poalei Agudas Yisroel organization and writes highly of their many accomplishments. He then writes that the organization is greatly involved in assisting Holocaust survivors and is active in the settling of Eretz Yisroel in a Torah true way.
R. Meir Karelitz (1877-1956), was the eldest son of the Kosovo Rav, R. Shmaryahu Yosef Karelitz and a brother of the Chazon Ish. Married to a granddaughter of the Cheshek Shlomo of Vilna, he served a Dayan in Vilna alongside R. Chaim Ozer Grodensky. He immigrated to Eretz Yisroel in 1937, where he was extremely active in the needs of the new Yishuv, together with his brother the Chazon Ish.
