Two letters signed by R. Chaim Ozer Grodzinski. Vilna, Chanukah 1933 and Shevat 1936.
Sent to R. Koppel Kahana, Rabbi of Puszcza Białowieska. The first letter discusses R. Kahana's contest for the position of rabbi. The second letter describes R. Chaim Ozer's efforts in assisting R.

Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski (1863-1940), Torah leader of his generation, began his studies at the Volozhin Yeshiva at the age of 11, and was a disciple of R. Chaim of Brisk. At the age of 24, he was appointed rabbi and Moreh Tzedek in Vilna. From a young age, he was active in public affairs and his opinion was the deciding factor in all public issues which arose throughout the Jewish world for almost 50 years. After WWI he expended tremendous efforts towards improving the state of the yeshivot, most of which were forced into exile during WWI and were in danger of closing down. Towards this end, he founded the Vaad Hayeshivot together with the Chafetz Chaim. He also was very active in providing new positions to rabbis from Russia and Belarus who had lost their positions due to the new Communist regime.
The recipient of the letter, R. Koppel Kahana (1895-1978), was the rabbi of Białowieska (Poland) and of Rozanai (Ruzhany). He was the son of R. Shlomo David Kahana, rabbi in Warsaw. During the Holocaust, he reached England and became a prominent rabbi in London. He authored Birkat Cohen, Nachalat Cohen, The Case for Jewish Civil Law in The State Of Israel, and other books.
Two letters, one on official stationary, the second on a postcard. Written by a scribe and signed by R. Chaim Ozer. Size and condition vary. Postcard in good condition, the first letter is in fair condition, worn and torn in the middle (torn in two).

Autograph letter by R. Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz, author of the Chazon Ish. [Bnei Brak, ca. 1940s].
Five lines in his handwriting (without his signature). The letter was sent to the printer of his books: "I want to ask you concerning the current price of printing, because the printing now depends upon a reduction in the price. We therefore ask you to inform us if you can print at the price of 1.75 and the rest of the details remain as they were until now".
R. Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz, author of the Chazon Ish (1879-1953), was a Torah scholar of great stature in halacha and Torah philosophy as well as a "hidden tsaddik". In 1911, he anonymously printed his first book of the Chazon Ish series and from that time, he was called after his book. He moved to Eretz Israel in 1933 and was immediately recognized as the foremost Torah scholar and was the main propagator of the rejuvenation of Torah and Chassidism in our times. He wrote and published his numerous Chazon Ish books, which were written with laborious study and diligence and cover almost all Talmudic treatises.
Leaf, 20 cm. Good-fair condition. Wear and folding creases.

Autograph letter signed by the well-known Kabbalist R. "Shimon Zvi Horwitz Rabbi of the Sha'ar HaShamayim Yeshiva" Jerusalem. Av [1942? /or 1945?].
The letter is about lofty kabbalist matters and probes the wondrous hearsay of the "prophecy" of the Bnei Brak child who spoke with the Chazon Ish and revealed hidden things about the future Redemption: "Please forgive me but I have heard many stories and among them have also heard that a child who lives in Bnei Brak spoke about our future Redemption. I have received many requests that I write you because people have said that you yourself have spoken with the boy and can verify this. Due to much urging, I have conceded to their request to write you because you surely will impart to me the truth of this matter and due to the lowly situation, everyone yearns to hear tidings…".
Rabbi Shimon Tzvi Horowitz - Rabbi Shimon Lider (1870-1946), a leading Jerusalem Kabbalist and one of the heads of the Sha'ar HaShamayim Kabbalist Yeshiva, author of Kabbalist books. He was famed for his great yearning for the Redemption and for the various practices he adopted to advance its coming (prayers and tikunim and his attempts to seek the Ten Tribes - see his book "Kol Mevaser and his other books). He was born in Lida, Lithuania and immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1887. He studied at the Etz Chaim Yeshiva, and from a young age began studying Kabbalah in the Beit El Yeshiva for Sephardic Kabbalists located in the Old City of Jerusalem by R. Sasson Bachar Preciado (author of the Shemen Sasson commentary on Kabbalistic books) and from other leading Jerusalem Kabbalists earning the title "R. Shimon Mekubal" or "R. Shimon Lider" after his native city. In 1906, together with R. Chaim Yehuda Leib Auerbach, he established the Sha'ar HaShamayim Yeshiva for disseminating Kabbalah, and taught there for forty years. On the second day of Rosh Hashanah 1946, he died in the Motza neighborhood while following his usual practice of praying in seclusion on Rosh Hashanah and his funeral procession from Motza to Jerusalem took place that same day after receiving a special heter.
Leaf, 20 cm. Good condition, creases and folding marks.
The letter was dated according to the date it bears: Friday, the 3rd of Av, which fell on a Friday during the time the Chazon Ish lived in Bnei Brak only three times: in 1935, 1942 and in 1945.

A letter (about 20 lines), handwritten and signed by R. Aryeh Levin, "the Tzaddik of Jerusalem". Jerusalem, [Tevet (December), 1961].
The letter is written on the back of a letter from Mordechai Ish Shalom, mayor of Jerusalem, dated November 1961 and sent in response to a relative of R. Aryeh Levin, who wrote to the mayor regarding newspaper report that the city of Jerusalem refused to award the title "Honorary Citizen" to R. Levin and to Martin Buber.
The mayor's response negating such rumors and declaring his eagerness to bestow the award upon R. Aryeh was seemingly forwarded to R. Aryeh, who was horrified at the very idea of receiving such an honor. R. Aryeh wrote his response on the back of the mayor's letter, giving us a glimpse into the life of the man who was concerned for the honor of everyone except for himself.
"…And now, my dear sir, I have received your response to my relative Sara Eshbal… I was horrified to consider [receiving such an honor]… and I request that the matter be dropped without further ado… Honor to one who does not deserve it is too heavy a burden to bear. I did not do anything in building this land; I did not build houses, plant vineyards or dig wells. And if I shared in the pain of our suffering brothers, I have already received far more honor than I deserve. I will be eternally grateful to his honor if he would have pity on my [ailing] health and drop this matter entirely, and give the honor to one who truly deserves it. It is a great honor for me to spend even one night in Jerusalem, not to mention being a citizen of the holy city… Aryeh Levin".
Official stationary of the mayor of Jerusalem. 22 cm. Written on both sides. Good condition. Slight stains and wear.
For further information regarding R. Aryeh Levin's refusal of this honorary title, see "A Tzaddik in Our Times" by Simcha Raz, pp. 54-55.
