Letter from Rabbi MOSHE SOFER of ERLAU [Father of the Erlau Rebbe Zt"l].
A beautiful handwritten letter from Rabbi Moshe Sofer, son of Rabbi Shimon Sofer [son of the Ksav Sofer] from Erlau. The letter is with very rich Torah contents and at the end he asks to pray for his wife who gave birth and hasn't recovered still after 11 weeks.
Rabbi Moshe Sofer (1885–1944) was Dayan of Erlau, Hungary and author of "Yad Sofer". He was the son of Rabbi Shimon Sofer (II) (Hisorerus Tshuva), grandson of Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Binyamin Sofer (Ksav Sofer) and great grandson of Rabbi Moshe Sofer (Chasam Sofer). He was the father of Rabbi Yochanan Sofer, rebbe of Erlau. He perished at Auschwitz during the Holocaust.
