"Yisrael Meir Ha'Cohen" – The Holy Signature of the Chafetz Chaim – a Special, Unique Item
A wonderful item: an official leaf of the Chafetz Chaim, on whose upper part, the logo "Yisrael Meir Ha'Cohen" was printed (in large fonts) and under it, the inscription: "Author of the books 'Chafetz Chaim' and 'Mishnah Berurah' Radin, the shire of Vilnius".
In the middle of the leaf, for an unclear reason, the Chafetz Chaim signed his name: "Yisrael Meir Ha'Cohen".
Such a lovely, unique item has never been seen in auctions!
A man's name expresses his essence. The name of the Chafetz Chaim, handwritten by him, hides within it the light of the Cohen Gadol who is constantly illuminating (Meir) what he has bequeathed to Beit Yisrael.
The 1930's.
Age of item: more than 80 years.
Condition: Very Good. Folding marks.
