Long letter composed of several letters, to Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook who served at that time as Av Beit Din of Bauska and to his daughter, granddaughter of the Aderet, handwritten and signed by Rabbi "Eliyahu David" Rabinowitz Te'omim – the Aderet; from his son Rabbi Refael Rabinowitz, and from his wife, Rebbetzin Faiga. Jerusalem, Kislev 1903.
the letters were written in anticipation of Rabbi Kook's beginning his appointment in the Jaffa rabbinate and their content is very interesting. the Aderet describes the spiritual situation of the Jaffa Ashkenazi community, tells of Rabbi Shneor Slonim, posek of the Chabad Chassidim who was not accepted by the rest of the Chassidim of the city [due to a dispute which erupted regarding a small issue – the custom of saying VeShamru on Shabbat eve], and he writes in the name of Rabbi Bezalel Lapin that the residents of Jaffa are eagerly awaiting his coming.
On the verso is a letter by his wife the Rebbetzin to Rabbi Kook's wife and to their orphaned granddaughter Fraidele, and a letter to his granddaughter signed by the Aderet. On the second leaf is a letter to Rabbi Kook from his brother-in-law Rabbi Refael Rabinowitz and another letter to his niece, Rabbi Kook's daughter.
the Aderet was Rabbi Kook's father-in-law from his first marriage to the Aderet's daughter Alta Bat-Sheva in 1886. She died at a young age in 1889 leaving a daughter named Fraida Chana. the love and bond between the Aderet and his son-in-law the Ra'ayah remained the same as in the past. Later, the Ra'ayah remarried the daughter of Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Rabinowitz-Te'omim – the Aderet's twin brother, who was orphaned from her father and was raised by her uncle the Aderet [she bore him his son, Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook]. the Aderet addresses Rabbi Kook with loving titles and many blessing and calls his granddaughter “the joy of our house”. the decision of the Aderet to serve in the Jerusalem rabbinate initiated his call to his beloved son-in-law, the Ra’ayah to serve in the Jaffa rabbinate, the topic of this letter.
4 pages, 29 cm. Dry paper, fair condition, wear and tears, old adhesive tape.
Unknown letters! Apparently never printed.
