The Admor of Erlau Rabbi Yohanan Sofer (1922-2006), was Av Beit Din and Ram of Erlau. Was known as the Zaken HaAdmorim, and continued the golden dynasty of the Chatam Sofer (this Admor was the son of Rabbi Moshe Sofer, the Yad Sofer, son of the Gaon Ba’al Hitorerut Tshuva, son of the Katav Sofer, son of the Chatam Sofer). After the Shoah he moved to Israel and became close with the Admor Rabbi Aharon of Belz. Established wonderful institutions of Torah. The pinnacle is the Ohel Shimon yeshiva in Katamon. There he taught Torah to thousands and cared for each student individually and with great care. The items before us, some of which were sent to a student of the yeshiva from where he lived outside of Israel, show this dear characteristic of the Admor. He served for many years as a member of the Council of Torah Sages and his opinion was accepted by the great sages of all stripes. | Different sizes, generally very good condition.
