Interesting Letter by Rabbi Boruch Ber Leibowitz

Interesting letter by the Ga’on Rabbi Boruch Dov (Ber) Leibowitz Rosh Yeshiva of “Beit Yitzchak”. Kamenitz, [c. 1935].
Lengthy two-leaf letter in handwriting and signature of Rabbi Boruch Ber, which was sent to Rabbi Ya’akov Feuchtwanger of Hamburg, father of Rabbi Asher Feuchtwanger who studied during that same period in the Yeshiva of Rabbi Boruch Ber. Rabbi Ya’akov urged his son to focus on the study of Poskim (Halachic rulings) in order that he receive rabbinical ordination, and Rabbi Boruch Ber writes in great length convincing him that “it is not right to disrupt his profound and exhaustive study in the depths of the Torah; rather he should study that which his heart desires in accordance with his great perception and understanding”, since his son is intended for greatness and “in accordance with his great level it is not proper to hurry him to the rabbinate, since this is suitable for somebody who is not necessarily intended for genius…”. He proposes that “he should certainly begin preparing for rabbinical ordination, however, he should not rush…”. At the end of the letter Rabbi Boruch Ber attests to the fact that he heard this instruction from his rabbi the Ga’on Rabbi Chaim of Brisk: “As my mentor and rabbi told me in my youth…”.
