Letter from R. Noach Rabbi of Piaseczno and Letter from Rabbi Chanoch Tzvi Levin Son-in-Law of the Sfat Emet
Letter handwritten and signed by R. "Noach Rabbi of Piasetchna". With additional recommendation letter at the foot of the leaf, handwritten and signed by R. Chanoch Tzvi Levin, son-in-law of the Sfat Emet, Rebbe of Ger. [Ger (Góra Kalwaria), Poland, ca. 1900]. Addressed to the philanthropist R. Yosef Yoskovich, the letter contains a request for financial assistance for the wedding of R. Noach's granddaughter. R. Noach writes that he is approaching him by letter rather than personally, since he doesn't have the strength to travel, and he has done this with the rabbi's knowledge (presumably referring to the Sfat Emet, Rebbe of Ger). At the foot of the letter, R. Chanoch Tzvi Levin adds: "I also inquire of the wellbeing of my dear friend, and I ask on behalf of the rabbi. His beloved one, who seeks his wellbeing, Chanoch Tzvi of Ger". R. Noach Srebrnik (1845-1913, Chachmei Polin p. 429), elder Polish rabbi and prominent Chassid of Ger. Son of R. Natan Natta Rabbi of Biala-Katan (Biala Rawska) and son-in-law of Rebbe Naftali of Sheltz (Sielce). He frequented the courts of the Chiddushei HaRim and of Rebbe Chanoch Heinich HaKohen of Alexander. He was amongst the heads of the Ger court, and was very close to the Sfat Emet. In Siach Sarfei Kodesh, many thoughts are quoted in his name. He served as rabbi of Biala-Katan and in 1893, was appointed rabbi of Piasetchna. In 1909, he was one of the proponents of the appointment of R. Kalonymus Kalman Shapira as rebbe of Piasetchna.
