Lengthy letter (about one and a half pages) on Torah matters, handwritten and signed by R. Reuven Grozovsky, a dean of the Kamenets yeshiva in Poland and a leading yeshiva dean in the United States. Brooklyn, Nisan 1948.
Sent to his relative R. Yechezkel Abramsky, head of the London Beit Din, thanking him for his Chazon Yechezkel on Tractate Bava Kama. Most of the letter relates to one of the topics discussed in Chazon Yechezkel.
R. Reuven Grozovsky (1886-1958), son of R. Shimshon Grozovsky, rabbi in Minsk and eminent son-in-law of R. Baruch Ber Leibowitz, dean of the Kamenets yeshiva. In his youth he was one of the foremost disciples of the Alter of Slabodka. An outstanding Torah scholar, leading yeshiva dean in Lithuania and in the United States. Assisted his illustrious father-in-law in managing the Kamenets yeshiva. During the Holocaust, he escaped to the United States, headed Beis Medrash Elyon of the Torah Vodaath yeshiva and was one of the heads of Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah in the United States. Known for his articles sharply opposing nationalism and Zionism, printed in Beayot HaZman. His profound discourses were printed in the four-part Chidushei Rabbi Reuven and in other books featuring his Torah teachings. We could not determine whether the contents of the present letter have already been printed, but his Chidushei Rabbi Reuven (Bava Kama section 2) addresses the same topic.
