Letter from Rabbi Avraham Elyashiv, Father of Rabbi Yosef Shalom, to Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld
Letter from Rabbi Avraham Elyashiv, Rabbi of Gomel and author of "Bikurei Avraham" to Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld of Jerusalem.
[1] leaf, 13x14.5 cm.
The letter discusses an apartment. Rabbi Avraham Elyashiv (1877-1943) was known as the Rabbi of Gomel (Homiel, , Belarus). He learned by the Chofetz Chaim in his youth. In 1924, he immigrated with his family to Eretz Yisrael and established the "Tiferet Bachurim" yeshiva for youth who worked for a living.
Rabbi Avraham was the son-in-law of kabalist Rabbi Shlomo Elyashiv, the "Leshem". His only son, Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, was born after seventeen years of marriage.
