A handsome letter, written on official stationery with the Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda's signature as head of the yeshiva.
The Gaon Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel (1878-1965) was the head of the Mir Yeshiva in the town of Mir, and its re-founder in the Land of Israel.
Born in Elul 5659 in the town of Kelm in Lithuania, to his father the Gaon Rabbi Natan Tzvi Finkel, the Alter of Slobodka. In his youth he traveled to study Torah in the yeshiva of Telz and became a talmid of Rabbi Eliezer Gordon and Rabbi Shimon Shkop.
In the year 5654 [1894], after several years of study in Telz, he went to study in Brisk with Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik.
He studied in many yeshivot in the cities of Lithuania, including the Mir Yeshiva under the leadership of Rabbi Elijah Baruch Kamai, who, upon his arrival at the yeshiva, immediately recognized his outstanding qualities and chose him as a son-in-law for his daughter Malke.
In the First World War, in the year 5674 [1914], the Yeshiva, with all its rabbis and students, were exiled to the towns of Stuyevitz and Poltava in the Ukraine. At the end of the First World War, his father-in-law passed away and he was appointed to succeed him as head of the Yeshiva.
With the outbreak of World War II he fled to Vilna, in 1941 he managed to escape Europe for the Land of Israel, where he established the central building of the Yeshiva and headed it for twenty-one years until he passed away on the nineteenth of Tammuz 1965.
