Two letters sent to R. Avraham Binyamin Kluger of Brody - son and close assistant of R. Shlomo Kluger - 1862-1863.
* Autograph letter of Torah teachings and New Year blessings, signed by R. Avraham Tzeler, a sage from Brody. Brody, Elul 1863. The address for delivery is inscribed on the verso: "To Chişinău" [residence of R. Avraham Binyamin at that time]: "To the famous Rabbi Avraham Binyamin Kluger son of R. Hai Gaon…". The content of the letter indicates that it was enclosed with a package sent from Brody to R. Avraham Binyamin by his father, R. Shlomo Kluger.
R. Avraham Tzeler was born in the city of Brody and became a leading sage, eventually serving as Rabbi of Bialikomin. Childhood friend of R. Avraham Binyamin Kluger, both disciples of R. Zvi Hirsh Horwitz of Brody (grandson of the Hafla'ah and of the Beit Efraim). Nephew of R. Alexander Sender Margaliot of Satanov. In 1900, he printed the book Z'rizuta D'Avraham authored by his grandfather R. Avraham No'ach HaLevi Heller Rabbi of Dolyna [brother of R. Meshulam Feivish of Zbarazh]. A responsum to him can be found in the Divrei Chaim responsa by R. Chaim of Sanz, Vol. 2, Even HaEzer Siman 106. See: Sh'not Dor VaDor, Vol. 3, pp. 363-365.
* Long letter (2 written pages) regarding details of a "get" arrangement or receiving a "heter of 100 rabbis", Cheshvan 1862. The writer is evidently a friend of R. Avraham Binyamin [the signature is difficult to decipher: "From his friend…Moshe?..."]. He requests that R. Avraham Binyamin speak on his behalf to his father R. Shlomo Kluger. He mentions the "Sadigura Rebbe and the Sanz Rebbe" who were involved in the matter.
The recipient of the letters is R. Avraham Binyamin Kluger (1841-1915), celebrated Torah scholar in his times. Beloved son of R. Shlomo Kluger as well as his close attendant in managing community matters in Galicia. In 1860, he wed the daughter of R. Avraham Strimever, a prominent Kishinev resident. After living six years in his father-in-law's home in Kishinev, he returned to Brody and from that time on was his venerable father's close attendant.
Two letters, 27-27.5 cm. Thin, bluish paper. Good-fair condition. Wear and dampstains, slightly affecting text.

A letter of responsa, handwritten and signed by R. Mordechai Leib Winkler, author of "Levushei Mordechai". Mad, 1921.
The letter was sent to R. Yisrael Veltz, rabbi of Budapest. On the reverse is a heading in the handwriting of R. Veltz: "Responsa from the rabbi of Mad - still unpublished". [This responsa was also not published in the new edition of Responsa Levushei Mordechai (New York, 2011), in which many other repsonsa addressed to R. Veltz were published.]
On the bottom of the page is a second letter (approximately 5 lines), written and signed by R. Winkler, sent to R. Shlomo Katz with instructions regarding the printing of his responsa.
R. Mordechai Leib Winkler, rabbi of Mad, author of "Levushei Mordechai" (1845-1932) was the preeminent disciple of R. Yitzchak Aharon Landsberg, rabbi of Grosswardein (Oradea). From 1874 he was active in the rabbinate, and in 1902 he became rabbi in Mad, where he remained until his death in 1932. He headed a large yeshiva in Mad, and was known as one of the three pillars of Torah law in Hungary, together with R. Yeshaya Zilberstein, rabbi of Veitzen (Vac) and R. Shimon Greenfeld, the Maharshag. With the publication of his responsa, he became renowned throughout the Jewish world as one of the preeminent halachic decisors, and his responsa are regarded as among the foremost in the area of halachic writings.
