A letter from Rabbi Shlomo Brevda to his brother-in-law Rabbi Efrayim Greenblat – 1971
A letter from Rabbi Shlomo Leib Bravda to his brother-in-law Rabbi Efrayim Greenblat, the author of 'Revavot Efrayim' Responsa, about his stay in London.
The letter was sent on 1/7/1969 and describes Rabbi Bravda's vacation with his family and the hotel beside the sea where they stayed. Rabbi Bravda mentions that on this day, he stops saying Kaddish for his late father, Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak. He also mentions his visits to various hospitals in London. Rabbi Bravda asks about his brother-in-law and about Rabbi Meir Belsky, the head of the Yeshiva in Tennessee, Memphis. At the end of the letter, he sends regards from his wife and family members.
The letter is hand-written and signed by Rabbi Bravda.
Rabbi Shlomo Bravda (1931-2013), one of the greatest Ba'alei Ha'Mussar in our generation. He studied in Lakewood and Mir Yeshivas. When he immigrated to Israel, he started studying the doctrine of Hagra (the Vilna Gaon) and gave lessons on this subject. He wrote several books, among them 'Amala shel Torah' (The Work of the Torah). In 1958, he traveled to London to receive medical treatment. That was when he wrote the letter before us. Since 1988, he divided his time between the USA and Bnei-Berak.
His brother-in-law, Rabbi Efrayim Greenblat (1932-2014), an adjudicator and the author of 'Revavot Efrayim' Responsa. One of the greatest adjudicators of our time and the student of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein. He corresponded with many of the greatest rabbis of our time.
Condition: Excellent.
