Letter from Rabbi Akiva Sofer of Pressburg, Author of Daat Sofer
[1] postcard. 14x9 cm. Entirely handwritten and signed by him.
Rabbi Akiva Sofer [1878-1959], known by the name of his book, Daat Sofer, was the son of Rabbi Simchah Bunim Sofer, who was rabbi of Pressburg and author of Shevet Sofer. He served as the last rabbi of Bratislava. He was appointed to succeed his father as chief rabbi of Pressburg [then in Hungary] when he was only 29 years old. He was chosen to serve as president of the Council of Orthodox Rabbis, an organization which oversaw more than 300 Orthodox communities across Hungary. During WWII, he fled to Switzerland and from there to the Land of Israel. He also served as a member of the Council of Torah Sages. Upon his immigration to Israel after WWII, he reestablished the Pressburg yeshiva in Jerusalem, and simultaneously served as president of Kollel Shomrei HaChomot and Batei Ungarin in Jerusalem.
Fine condition.
