Letter by Rabbi Moshe Razin to his friend, the Chazon Ish, with leaves containing Divrei Torah. New York, 1935.
Lengthy letter in handwriting of Rabbi Moshe Razin. At beginning of letter he notes that he is attaching Divrei Torah to his letter, and afterwards he deals with “spirituality within materialism”. As well, he thanks the Chazon Ish for “advising me to immigrate to the Holy Land”.
At margins of letter, brief blessing by son of Rabbi Moshe, Rabbi Chaim Razin.
Attached are three leaves [written on one side] in handwriting of Rabbi Moshe Razin, containing Divrei Torah regarding desecration of coin of Ma’aser Sheni [second tithe], with discussion “concerning that which I have written in my book Nezer HaKodesh on Menachot”, apparently as response to comment which the Chason Ish wrote to him regarding this matter.
Rabbi Moshe Razin (Ruzin; 1871-1958), among exalted geniuses of Lithuania and leading Torah giant of the United States. At age of approximately twenty two was appointed as Av Beit Din of Kedainiai (Latvia). In 1928 emigrated to the United States and served as president of association of rabbis in North America. Was famous for his many compositions; most popular was series of books Nezer HaKodesh on the Shas.
During period of service as rabbi of Kedainiai, the Chazon Ish resided in same area. The two formed a close bond and studied together. The first book of Rabbi Moshe, Divrei Sofrim, was published with the assistance of the Chazon Ish who contributed to this matter from funds of his dowry. In his book Rabbi Moshe presents Divrei Torah on behalf of the Chazon Ish [anonymously as requested by the Chazon Ish]. In his book Nezer HaKodesh on tractate Zevachim he incorporates comments written by the Chazon Ish. Even after their paths separated, they maintained a unique bond, and in their correspondence letters they shared Divrei Torah, as in this letter.

Illustrations and astronomical calculations concerning the laws of Kidush HaChodesh – in the handwriting of the Chazon Ish, and an inscription of a name for which to pray. Written on the reverse side of a letter of responsum on the laws of Eiruvin sent to the Chazon Ish, handwritten and signed by Rabbi Yisrael HaLevi Kolodner Rabbi of Ness Tziona. 1944.
Rabbi Yisrael HaLevi (Bari) Kolonder (1911-1972), studied in his youth in Novardok Yeshiva, ascended to Eretz Israel in 1937. Son-in-law of Rabbi Ya'akov Moshe Charlap Head of Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva. Served over 30 years in the Ness Tziona rabbinate. Wrote many books on halacha, ethics and aggada.
Official stationary, 28.5 cm. Fair condition, wear and tear and moisture stains.

Several handwritten leaves by Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael Kanievsky "the Steipler", from his book Eifat Tzedek (Bnei Brak, 1949), which he had written in the middle of the polemic of his brother-in-law the Chazon Ish with Rabbi Chaim Na'eh of Jerusalem, regarding the shiurei (measures) hamitzvot and the shiur of Agudal, Tefach and Amah.
The manuscript has erasures and changes before printing the book. For example: On Page 4 the Steipler writes a comment praising the book
Shi'urei Torah by Rabbi Chaim Na'eh as a "Book to study, but G-d forbid not to rule halachic conclusions from his work". In another section which was erased and not printed in Eifat Tzedek, "In regard to Rabbinic laws, he who takes the lenient opinion and calculates the measure Agudal as 2 cm. cannot be chastised as we find a few Achronim who so rule, but G-d forbid one should not practice according to lenient opinion on matters which are from the Torah (D'Oraita). [It is logical that this section was erased by the Chazon Ish who did not agree to this leniency, even for rabbinic laws].
