A Rare Letter Handwritten by Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv - Expressing his Esteem for the Torah Greatness of the Rebbe Rabbi Yitzchak Weiss of Horodenka in his Youth
A rare letter of praise and esteem handwritten by Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv. The letter is written on the official stationery of Rabbi Elyashiv when he was a member of the Great Rabbinical Court of Jerusalem, "Isru Chag Ha'Pesach 5723 [1963]".
"this attests that I have examined the character of the young man Yitzchak Aryeh ben Rabbi Pinchas Weiss … and I have found that despite his young age he has managed to go through several tractates and saw blessing in his study. I hope that with God's help if he continues to persist in his studies he will grow in Torah…"
Rabbi Elyashiv's signature at the end of the letter.
Rabbi Yitzchak Aryeh Weiss, the Rebbe of Horodenka, was 17 years old when he received the letter. He lives in London and has many disciples.
