Lot 136:
Letter by the Admor of Radzin the holy Gaon Rabbi Yerucham Leiner, addressed to Rabbi Yehuda Leib Hacohen Maimon – Brooklyn, 1960.
Like his father and grandfathers, Rabbeinu was a famed Gaon. He used to send his comments to be printed in varied Kuntresim, among others, to a journal edited by Rabbi Yehuda Leib Hacohen Maimon. This letter contains a discussion of Rabbeinu’s comments on the Rambam and Midrash Rabba. He also apologizes for not replying to Rabbi Maimon’s letter because of his wife’s passing: "יסלח נא לי ידידי על שלא קיימתי הבטחתי וכן לא השבתי על מכתבו…. כי עברו עלי ימים של צער ל"ע מפטירת זוגתי המנוחה ע"ה, ימתקו לה רגבי עפרה"
