Letter from the Gaon Rabbi Baruch Epstein about his Book 'Torah Temimah'


Letter handwritten and signed by the renowned gaon Rabbi Baruch HaLevi Epstein, known by the name of his book as the Ba'al HaTorah Temimah, regarding his monumental book series,  Torah Temimah. Pinsk, 1902. Letters from the 'Torah Temimah' are rare.


The Torah Temimah writes in his letter that despite the books not being bound yet "as I had wanted, " given that the Passover holiday is approaching, he is sending the books as they are, unbound.


The Torah Temimah concludes his letter with blessings: "May his honor be blessed, his family and all who share his company during this holiday - guarded and glorified, full of goodwill and joy."
