Letter from the Gaon Rabbi Zelig Reuven Bengis to Rabbi Yeshayahu Karlitz, author of “Hazon Ish”. Jerusalem, [1952].
Long letter, handwritten and signed by Rabbi Bengis who applies “with the request of our Haredi Community” to the “Hazon Ish”, that he persuade Rabbi Jacob Halperin to provide monetary assistance to establish an abattoir for fowls. The reason is the “Decree by the ruler not to sell live birds, which is feared will cause many problems, which has led the Community to decide to set up for itself an abattoir…”
On the other side of the sheet are three lines in the handwriting of the holy “Hazon Ish” with names of people needing salvation, who the “Hazon Ish” noted for himself to pray for.
