Letter Handwritten and Signed by Rabbi Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik, the "Brisker Rov" - Iyar 1928
Letter (6 lines) handwritten and signed by R. Yitzchak Ze'ev HaLevi Soloveitchik Rabbi of Brisk. Brisk (Brest), Iyar, 1928.
Addressed to the Brisker Relief Committee in the United States. The letter acknowledges the receipt of Kimcha DePischa funds for the destitute and for the rabbis of the city: "As a sign and proof for the delegates of the Brisker Relief in New York… that we received from you for the distribution of Matzot for the poor and Torah scholars the sum of… 1850 dollars. Thus, each rabbi here received from you, each person according to the amount determined by the delegates, the sum of… 375 dollars… so says Yitzchak Ze'ev son of R. Chaim HaLevi Soloveitchik".
The Brisker Rov - R. Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik (1886-1959), son of R. Chaim HaLevi of Brisk, and grandson of the Beit HaLevi. Already at a young age, still in his father's lifetime, he was considered one of the prominent Torah leaders of the generation. In 1918 (at the age of 31), he succeeded his forefathers as rabbi of Brisk, and with his Torah authority, he governed all religious matters in his city and the entire region. He managed to escape the Holocaust together with some of his children and immigrated to Jerusalem, where he reestablished his yeshiva. His authority was recognized by the entire Torah world in Eretz Israel and abroad.
