Leaf (2 written pages) handwritten by R. Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz, the Chazon Ish – novellae on the laws of shechitah and covering of the blood on festivals. [Eretz Israel, ca. 1930s-1940s].

R. Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz (1879-1953), author of the Chazon Ish, a foremost scholar in Halachah and Jewish thought in our times. A preeminent Torah authority and hidden tzaddik, his first book Chazon Ish was published in 1911 anonymously; since then he has been known by the name of his book. He would modestly sign his name with his initials only: "Ish". After World War I, during which he fled to Belarus, he returned in 1920 to Lithuania and lived for several years in Vilna. He immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1933, where he became recognized as the leading Torah authority, and stood at the helm of the renaissance of the Torah world in our generation. He authored and published numerous volumes of Chazon Ish, which were written with great toil and in-depth study, covering nearly all Talmudic topics
