A letter from Rabbi Avraham Yishayahu Karelitz author of the "Chazon Ish". The letter contains greetings for the New Year signed by the Chazon Ish as well as his efforts in trying to receive medication for an ill child in Eretz Israel.
Rabbi Avraham Yishayahu Karelitz, the "Cahzon Ish" (1879-1954), was the great leader and scholar of Halachah and Torah thought in our generation. His first work titled "Chazon Ish" was published anonymously in the year 1921 and from then he was known by the name of his work. After WWI he lived in Vilna. Rabbi Chaim Ozer, who knew him for his greatness, compelled him to guide world Jewry and directed many rulings to his doorstep once he moved to Eretz Israel in 1933. He emphasized the requirement fulfilling the "Mitzvot that are related to the land of Israel" and was the pillar behind the Torah and Chassidic movement of our generation. He wrote and published many of his works under the title of "Chazon Ish" which cover almost all matters of the Talmud.

In his exceptionally busy schedule, of studying torah and giving guidance to world Jewry and communities, he still made the time and effort to help individuals in their spiritual and material needs. He had immense knowledge in medicine and his council and efforts were done with great devotion as we can see in this letter.
