Telegram Handwritten and Signed by Rabbi Yitzchak Ze'ev of Brisk - To the Leader of Agudath HaRabbanim in the United States
The draft of a telegram which R. Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik - the Brisker Rov, handwrote and signed himself, to be copied and sent as a telegram to the U.S. Jerusalem, ca. 1940s -1950s.
The telegram is addressed to Agudath HaRabbanim in the United States, and contains an appeal to assist the Etz Chaim yeshiva in Jerusalem: "We ask you to offer your full assistance to raise funds for the prominent Etz Chaim yeshiva, an institution of Torah and fear of G-d, in our holy city, which is now in dire straits and in a very difficult situation. Soloveitchik".
Enclosed with the draft handwritten by the Brisker Rov is the original telegram form, with a typewritten romanization of his letter. On the verso of the form, address of sender: "HaRav Soloveitchik, Press St. 3, Jerusalem".
The Brisker Rov - R. Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik (1886-1959), son of R. Chaim HaLevi of Brisk, and grandson of the Beit HaLevi. Already at a young age, still in his father's lifetime, he was considered one of the prominent Torah leaders of the generation. In 1918 (at the age of 31), he succeeded his forefathers as rabbi of Brisk, and with his Torah authority, he governed all religious matters in his city and the entire region. He managed to escape the Holocaust together with some of his children and immigrated to Jerusalem, where he reestablished his yeshiva. His authority was recognized by the entire Torah world in Eretz Israel and abroad.
