Auction 21
Lot 272:
Printed on a typewriter on official letterhead of the Chafetz Haim yeshiva. From 19th of Av, 1934, signed by the grandson of the Chafetz Haim, Rav Eliezer Zeev Kaplan, head of the yeshiva. Written a year after the death of the Chafetz Haim and just before the start of WWII, with a request to save three boys whose parents were in the “Land of Blood.” It is unclear if the recipient is Maharam Shapira of Lublin, since he died in Cheshvan 1934, 9 months before the letter was written, or if there is an error in the dating of the letter. | Filing holes, signs of folding, tears without missing text. 28x22cm, generally good condition.
