“Kriyat Kodesh” document for donations on behalf of the gamach for Torat Chesed. The content of the letter reads “this account has existed for around five years, and is managed [truthfully] by important talmidei chachamim…” With the list of expenses from 1957-1962. In the margins is the recommendation of Gaon maran HaRav Ezra Atiah, with his handwriting and signature. Lived 1881-1970, he was a Gaon and wonderful mechadesh of the Talmud and its commentaries, for more than 50 years straight he headed the Jerusalem yeshiva “Porat Yosef,” the great Sefardi rabbanim of the next generation were his students, such as Rav Ovadia Yosef. HaRav Avraham Yeshayau Karlitz, the “Chazon Ish,” returning from the Kotel one time, visiting the yeshiva and began a long argument with him on Torah. Afterwards he said Rav Atiah’s explanations “were like the explanations of the Rishonim.” Good condition, signs of folding.
