R. Joseph Ber Soloveitchik “Yahrzeit Shiur” / R. Eliezer (Lazer) Silver. Boston, Shevat 1953.
Autograph letter by R. Joseph Ber Soloveitchik to R. Eliezer Silver. R. Soloveitchik writes that he received R. Eliezer’s letter but fell ill and was therefore unable to respond immediately. Whilst unwell he nevertheless delivered the “Yahrzeit” shiur in memory of his father (Rav Moshe Soloveitchik) after which he had a relapse, and he hopes that the delay in response is understood. He then invites R. Silver to discuss the issue in depth the next time the latter visits New York.
It is evident from this letter, the Rav’s dedication to the famed “Yahrzeit Shiur”, (which was a highly anticipated yearly highlight, attended by Rabbonim, Roshei Yeshiva and students far and wide). The Shiurim were then published under the title Shiurim L’Zecher Abba Mori.
28 by 21 cm. Excellent condition.
