Letter (5 long lines) handwritten and signed by Rebbe Chanoch Henich HaKohen of Alexander. [Warsaw, ca. 1860s]. Sent to Lodz to his son R. Yechiel Efraim Fishel HaKohen. He mentions that he has enclosed a letter intended for R. Yisrael Meir HaKohen of Biala (son-in-law of the Chiddushei HaRim of Ger), on the occasion of his son's wedding with the daughter of the wealthy R. Yaakov Krohl. The address in Lodz and postmarks appear on the verso, with the following inscription handwritten by R. Chanoch Henich: "Please give this letter to my son… R. Yechiel Efraim Fishel HaKohen of Mielec". Rebbe Chanoch Henich HaKohen Levin of Alexander (1798-1870), leading disciple of R. Simcha Bunim of Peshischa and of the Yehudi HaKadosh of Peshischa. He held a rabbinic position for close to 40 years. While still a young man, his teacher the Yehudi HaKadosh appointed him rebbe, yet he preferred to subject himself to the authority of his colleagues, Rebbe Mendel of Kotsk and later Rebbe Yitzchak Meir Alter of Ger. Only after the passing of the Chiddushei HaRim in 1866 did the elderly R. Henich agree to serve as rebbe and lead the Chassidic courts of Kotzk and Ger. [1] leaf. 15X21 cm. Good-fair condition.
