Letter in handwriting and signature of Rabbi Yisrael Binyamin Bendet Feivelson. Interesting recommendation letter for "Beit Yosef" Yeshiva – Novardok, along with description of history of the Yeshiva following the Russian revolution. [Shokian-Lithuania, 1932].
“… the good news has reached us that G-D rescued the remaining ‘Beit Yosef’ from the upheaval and the noble and invaluable Jews… escaped with G-D’s mercy from the bloody country… and after enduring much hardship they arrived at a safe haven in Dvinsk… writing with tearful joy… in honor of G-D and his Torah…”.
