Collection of Letters by the Most Prominent Rabbis of Lithuania / Important Documents of Lithuanian Communities

A special collection of letters handwritten by the most prominent rabbis of Lithuania. The handwriting of some of them has never been seen in auctions. Some of the rabbis perished during the Holocaust. These are dear remnants of a generation of geniuses.
