A bundle of halachic responsa sent by Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, to the students of the HaNegev Yeshiva in Netivot, from 1964-1965.
The responsa cover various halachic topics: the laws of Shabbat and Succah, laws of honoring a rabbi at a Purim party (it is of no avail even if the rabbi foregoes his honor), the laws of returning a stolen item and the laws of shaving the corners of the head.
Four letters handwritten and signed by Rabbi Elyashiv (one was written between the lines of the letter with the question) and two were written and signed by his son Rabbi Binyamin David Elyashiv (author of Yad Binyamin) who writes "in the name of my father".
Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv (1910-2012), a foremost posek for over 70 years. Known for his exceptional diligence and deep and thorough understanding of all Torah areas which enabled him to reach clear conclusions on any matter. During the last 20 years of his life, he led Torah Jewry in Israel and abroad. However, even earlier, he was involved in rabbinic and halachic matters of various communities. Rabbi Elyashiv did not print his Torah novellae by himself but his disciples printed the “comments” from his lectures and compiled some of his responsa in the four volumes of Kovetz Teshuvot. These responsa were not printed ibid, and are apparently unknown.
6 letters, approximately 8 pages. Varied size and condition, some of the leaf margins are worn with damage to text.
