Lot 365:
Touching letter with a request from the Hebron Yeshiva to accept a student of the Gateshead Yeshiva. Handwritten and signed by the Gaon Rabbi Aryeh Ze’ev Gurevich, the Rosh Yeshiva of Gateshead – Gateshead, 1951.
In his letter, the Rosh Yeshiva recommends the student Moshe Hall of Dublin: "והוא בחור יקר רוח מאוד עם כשרונות ורצונות ולמד בישבתינו כחמשה שנים.. ולמד ביורה דעה כדי שיהי’ מוכשר להוראה… ועכשיו רצונו הטהור לעלות במדרגות התורה והיראה, וחפצו ורצונו ללמוד בישיבת חברון ששמע שמעה, וכבר אמרו ז"ל לעולם ילמד אדם תורה בקום שלבו חפץ". The letter indicates the sorrow of the Rosh Yeshiva for the student leaving his yeshiva, although he set aside his will for the possible growth of this diligent student.
