Letter Signed by Rabbi Dov Sokolovsky Encouraging Observance of Shabbat. May 1945
Letter signed by Rabbi Dov Sokolovsky to the lawyer Buxbaum, in which he requests that he contribute his part towards encouraging observance of Shabbat, as he has much experience in Shabbat law. And he blesses him that in this merit G-d bless him in all his ways.
The gaon Rabbi Dov Sokolovsky [1897-1988], among the select of the Mir Yeshiva, known as "the prodigy R' Berel Sopotkiner" (after his birthplace Sopotkin), disciple of the "Chafetz Chaim," son-in-law of Rabbi Avraham Tzvi Kamai, Av Beit Din of Mir. Rabbinic leader in Torah and fear of Heaven, among the righteous of Jerusalem. When he settled there, he established 'חברת מזהירי שבת' ['Guardians of Shabbat Society'] by instruction of his rabbi, the Chafetz Chaim. He recruited hundreds of volunteers who organized protests and struggled against businesses opening on Shabbat and desecration of Shabbat in Jerusalem, including Rabbi Aryeh Levin, Rabbi Shabtai Yudelevitz, Rabbi Yisrael Yaakov Fisher and additional rabbis. He also disseminated Torah and engaged in charitable activities and supporting poor Torah scholars. He passed away childless at an advanced age.
