Letter by the rabbis of the Badatz of the Eda HaCharedit, against the Ma'arava Institute, signed by the Ga'avad R. Yitzchak Ya'akov Weiss, the Ra'avad R. Moshe Aryeh Freund, R. Yisrael Moshe Dushinsky, R. Yisrael Ya'akov Fisher, R. Binyamin Rabinowitz and R. Avraham David Horowitz. Jerusalem, Cheshvan 1983.
A significant polemic arose within the Charedi circles, surrounding the opening of the Ma'arava institute founded for Charedi youth from families who immigrated to Israel from Anglo-Saxon countries. The institute offered a secular education alongside the kodesh studies, a "yeshiva high-school" for Charedim. The eldest of the yeshiva heads, R. E. M. Schach banned the school and the "breach" of the walls of Torah education which do not include secular studies in their curriculum. He published a letter with his reservations about the institute and its deviation from the tradition of the "holy yeshivot" in Eretz Israel which dedicate full time to Torah study alone. This is another letter from that era, signed by the rabbis of the Badatz of the Eda HaCharedit, who also opposed the education offered at that institute.
Official stationery, 27 cm. Typewritten, signed by the dayanim. Fair-poor condition, fungus and wear damages, restored with paper filling. Mildew and fungus stains.

Long autograph letter [2 pages] signed by Rebbe Menachem Mendel Paneth. Dej, 1877.
Written to his nephew R. Asher Shmuel Paneth, this letter is a halachic discussion of the opinion of his teacher, R. Chaim of Sanz, concerning the kashrut of chicory drinks. "Regarding chicory in the book Divrei Chaim Part 2 Siman 53, I did not see ibid that he prohibited it, on the contrary, he never prohibited it, only in his home…And on this matter, I cannot say anything because our Rabbi in his Divrei Chaim responsa did not want to prohibit it, therefore we cannot say our opinion…".
At the end of the letter (after his signature), he writes about the son of R. Asher Shmuel Paneth: "…Your son, Yechiel Meir is very diligent and is striding the straight path in all matters and is G-d fearing…". This responsum was printed in his book of responsa Sha'arei Tzedek, Yorah De'ah Siman 105, with slight variations and without the end of the letter.
R. Menachem Mendel Paneth Rabbi of Dej (Deyzh) (1818-1885), son of the Rebbe, author of Mareh Yechezkel, (disciple of R. Mendel of Romaniv who served as Rabbi of Karlsburg and of the Zevenbergen region). In 1837, he studied in the yeshiva of the Chatam Sofer and was the only student in all the Pressburg Yeshiva who wore Chassidic silk garb. His teacher, the Chatam Sofer loved him dearly and every Erev Shabbat would walk with him in discussion [he called him "Der Goldener" (the gold one)]. During the time he was in the yeshiva, he merited a revelation of Eliyahu who appeared to him in the Beit Midrash disguised as a poor person. From 1842, he served as Rabbi of Urişor and from 1858 as Rabbi of Dej. From c. 1855, he served as Rabbi of Transylvania. Authored the book Ma'aglei Tzedek on the Torah and the series of Avnei Tzedek, Sha'arei Tzedek and Mishpat Tzedek responsa.
The recipient, R. Asher Shmuel Paneth Rabbi of Hidalmás (1835-1909), son of his brother R. Chaim Bezalel Paneth, Rabbi of Tăşnad. The son mentioned in the letter is R. Yechiel Meir Paneth Rabbi of Hidalmás (1860-1944), who in his youth studied in his great-uncle's yeshiva in Dej and in the yeshiva of the Chatan Sofer in Mattersdorf.

Long interesting letter, handwritten and signed by R. Shmuel Zanvil of Ustrzyki Dolne, to R. Yitzchak Aharon Itinga, Ra'avad of Lvov. [Ustrzyki Dolne, Galicia, after 1876].
In this letter, written before he moved to Eretz Israel, R. Shmuel Zanvil apologizes and explains the problematic situation which he encountered in his activities to arrange a financial support for his aliya to Eretz Israel due to the disagreement between the Sanz Chassidim and the Dinov Chassidim regarding the position of Rabbi of Bukowsko. The Sanz Chassidim supported the nomination of R. A. son-in-law of the Chrzanów Rabbi, whereas the Dinov Chassidim supported R. Meir Yehuda Shapira [son of R. David of Dinov]. In the end, the Dinov Chassidim overcame their opponents and appointed R. Meir Yehuda Shapira. R. Shapira had the practice of never ruling any question or court case, [following the tradition of his holy father of Dinov who would not respond to halachic questions], and therefore he requested that R. Shmuel Zanvil [whose wife was related to the family of the Dinov Rebbe] to join him in Bukowsko and serve as posek. The entire community ("on his side") agreed to this and wanted to draw up a contract for three years "But my habit is to flee from disputes, how much more so not to enter a dispute, therefore I refrained…". He further explains that this affected his current situation, that the gaba'im of Eretz Israel (who were connected to the Sanz Chassidim in Bukowsko) would not approve financial support for his immigration to Eretz Israel.
R. Shmuel Zanvil Kallech (died in Safed in 1883), son of R. Yeshaya Zalman Rabbi of Ustrzyki Dolne (Galicia) who was the son-in-law of Rebbe Shmuel Zanvil Beer Rabbi of Ustrzyki Dolne (disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin and of the Magid of Koznitz, died in 1826). His wife, Freida Kallech (died in Safed in 1909) was the great-grandaughter of Rebbe Zvi Elimelech of Dinov, author of Bnei Yissaschar - her mother, Rebbetzin of Turka was the daughter of R. Moshe Sheinfeld, son-in-law of R. Zvi Elimelech of Dinov.
Leaf [2 written pages]. 22.5 cm. Fair condition. Blue, thin stationery, creased and worn, with open tears to margins, affecting text.

An autograph letter signed by R. Avraham Weinberg, third rebbe of the Slonim dynasty, [Białystok, Av 1929].
A hearty letter, flowing with blessings for good health, sent to a Chassid from Eretz Israel who traveled to Vienna for medical reasons, with detailed instructions and attentiveness to all specifics of his spiritual and material needs. The Slonim Rebbe instructs this Chassid to consult Rebbe Yisrael of Chortkov. The Rebbe writes that he "almost certainly" will go to the [second] World Congress of Agudat Yisrael" which was to take place in Vienna [in the month of Elul 1929] and he suggests that his follower wait in Vienna until he arrives so they can "deliberate about the matter". However, he immediately adds: "and if the Chortkov Rebbe agrees that you travel home, do so with supervision and with a complete recovery…". After his signature appears an addition, signed "the above-mentioned".
Rebbe Avraham Weinberg (the second) of Baranovichi, author of Beit Avraham (1884-1933) was the son of the author of Divrei Shmuel. From 1916, he jointly led the Slonim Chassidim with his eldest brother R. Yissachar Leib, however the majority of Chassidim followed R. Avraham. He settled in Baranovichi where he established the Torat Chesed Yeshiva. He maintained close contact with his Chassidim in Eretz Israel, which he visited twice. His books, Beit Avraham, are well-known for their profound Chassidic philosophy.

Letter signed by the Rachmistrivka rebbes - R. Avraham Dov and R. David Twersky. Jerusalem, 1941.
Receipt upon receiving funds and a blessing: "We pray for all the Jewish people for salvation and complete Redemption soon".
The dynasty of the Rachmistrivka Rebbes had an interesting tradition of two rebbes simultaneously leading a mutual court; together they received those who came for blessings and both read kvittlach and jointly led the tisch (Chassidic gatherings). This custom began after the death of Rebbe Yochanan of Rachmistrivka in 1895. His son Rebbe Ze'ev Twersky of Rachmistrivka (died in 1937) led the followers together with his brother Rebbe Menachem Nachum of Rachmistrivka (1840-1936). In 1926, Rabbi Menachem Nachum immigrated to Jerusalem and in 1935 Rebbe Ze'ev settled in Jerusalem as well. After Rebbe Menachem Nachum died in 1936, both his sons were appointed as rebbes together - Rebbe Avraham Dov Twersky (1865-1945) and his brother Rebbe David (1872-1951). Rabbi David is the father of Rebbe Yochanan of Rachmistrivka-Jerusalem, and grandfather of Rebbe Yisrael Mordechai, the father of Rebbe David of Rachmistrivka-Jerusalem.
This is a letter written on the official stationery of both rebbes, Rabbi "Avraham Dov and David sons of R. Menachem Nachum of Rachmistrivka" with the full signatures of both holy brothers. A rare letter from the short time the two served together as rebbes.
Official stationery, 26 cm. Good condition. Torn filing holes.
