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.
