Lengthy letter by the Gaon Rabbi Zelig Reuven Bengis Rosh Av Beis Din of HaEdah HaCharedis handwritten entirely by him, Jerusalem, 1952.


In the letter that was sent to the Gaon's friend, Dr. Hillman, the Rosh Av Beis Din aplogizes for his delayed reponse due to tremendous workload, "It is unbelievable that I have no rest even for a second". Later he answers a question dealing with matters of Tractate Yadayim. 

* It should be noted that appearing on this letter is the handwritten signature of the Rosh Av Beis Din and not the signature-like stamp that usually appears on his letter, thus its rareness. 


The great Gaon Rabbi Zelig Reuven Bengis (1864-1953) Rosh Av Beis Din of HaEdah HaCharedis in Jerusalem and one of Gedolei Hador. At a young age he began studying at the Volozhin Yeshiva (where he became renowned as a prodigy and and awe-inspiring Masmid) and there he became close to his Rav the Natziv, who even called him 'a living Shas'. The Gaon Rabbi Bengis received his Semicha by the greatest of his generation: his Rav the Natziv, the Gaon Rabbi Yitchak Elchonon Spektor and the Gaon Rabbi Shlomo Hacohen of Vilna author of the Cheshek Shlomo. Served as Rav in several holy communities until in 1938, he immigrated to the Holy Land and was appointed to serve as Rosh Av Beis Din of HaEdah HaCharedis  in Jerusalem. Authored the Sefer 'LiFelagot Reuven'.
