Letter of Approbation by Rabbi Moshe Feinstein - 1976
Letter of approbation for a book (7 lines), handwritten and signed by R. Moshe Feinstein. New York, Marcheshvan 1976.
Approbation for the book Mekor HaBracha - laws of blessings, authored by R. Gavriel Krausz, head of the Manchester Beit Din. In his approbation, R. Moshe Feinstein writes: "Since the book contains practical halachic rulings, and I am not able to study each topic individually, it cannot be considered as if I myself am also issuing these rulings, but I can say that he is a great man, who is well-versed in the laws of blessings, and his words should be given due regard". At the end of the letter, R. Moshe blesses: "And may G-d grant him success in Torah and in all areas, and may G-d’s name be sanctified through him".
R. Moshe Feinstein (1895-1986), foremost halachic authority in the United States, a leader of Orthodox Jewry and chairman of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah. He was the dean of the Tiferet Yerushalayim yeshiva in New York. He authored: Responsa Igrot Moshe, Dibrot Moshe - Talmudic novellae and Darash Moshe - novellae on the Torah.
