Autograph letter by R. Avraham Duber Kahana Shapiro written to the Agudas Ha’Rabonim (of the USA and Canada) regarding a request he had received from the community in Mexico to help them find Shochtim. He writes that from Lithuania it was difficult for him to assist them, however perhaps from the USA it would be easier.
R. Avraham Duber Kahana Shapira (1870-1943) was the last Rav of Kovno and one of the leading Talmidei Chachomim and rabbinical leaders in Lithuania during the pre-WWII era. He passed away in the Kovno ghetto during the Holocaust and was perhaps the only Rav given a funeral under the watch of the Nazi occupiers.
13 by 22 cm. Handwritten on both sides of the letter. Fine condition.
