A Letter from Rabbi Meir Karelitz Av Beit Din of Lachowitz [circa 1936].
The letter was written to his brother-in-law. The letter's content is regarding a relative from the U.S. who was making a family tree of the Karelitz family and the initial financial preparations of Rabbi Meir and his brother Rabbi Itzeleh of Kosovo of moving to Eretz Israel.
The letter shows the desire of the Karelitz family to move to Eretz Israel but technical difficulties hindered its action. [Rabbi Meir succeeded in moving to Eretz Israel in 1937. Rabbi Itzeleh stayed in Kosovo and was murdered along with his family and the community of Kosovo].
Rabbi Meir Karelitz (1877-1955, Otzar 12971) was the older brother of the Chazon Ish, son-in-law of the Cheshek Shlomo and of the heads of the Rabbinical Council of Vilna. He was a trusted companion Rabbi Chaim Ozer. In 1933 he was appointed to be the Av Beit Din of Lachowitz. His sons and sons-in-law established Yeshivat Beit Meir in Bnei Braq in his name.
