A letter by Rabbi Dov Sokolovsky to the Board of The Diskin Orphanage, requesting permission to use the orphanage building for the Kaminetz Yeshiva. Jerusalem, 1973. At the end of the letter, signatures and short approbations by the orphanage board members, including a handwritten and signed letter by the Rebbe of Toldot Aharon [who was a board member of the institute], "I too agree to all the above and it is a great mitzvah to strengthen Torah study, with my blessings, Avraham Yitzchak Kahn".
Rabbi Dov Sokolovsky (1897-1988), a disciple of the Chafetz Chaim and son in law of Rabbi Avraham Zvi Kamai, Rabbi of Mir was one of the most prominent G-d fearing Torah scholars in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Kahn, born in Sefad in 1914, was disciple of Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum in the Satmar Yeshiva where he became close to his father-in-law's circle that were involved in pure service of Hashem. After his father-in-law's death in 1947, Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak was appointed Rebbe of a new Hassidic dynasty that became one of the leading dominant dynasties of Chassidic customs in Jerusalem, opposing Zionism and religious antagonism. He died in 1997, and another new Hassidic dynasty "Toldot Avraham Yitzhak" is named after him.
