Long personal biography handwritten by Rabbi Avraham David Rosenthal, Ra’avad in Jerusalem and author of the work Beer HaMelech.
“I was born in Jerusalem in 1904 to Rabbi Gaon Chaim Shlomo Rosenthal”, he writes at the beginning. He details (in brief) the various stages of his life, from his childhood at the Etz Chaim Talmud Torah through the events of WWII, founding the Yeshia L’Birur Halachot Eretz Yisrael, his service in the Prushim beit din, his service as head of the Vaad Knesset Yisrael, until establishing the Keter Torah Kollel. A unique and interesting item.
Two leaves, [2] pages. 20x32cm. Good condition.
