Handwritten postcard (unsigned) on a topic of Kodshim by R. Yosef Rosen, the Rogatchover Gaon, to R. Yitzchok Issac Herzog, when the latter was serving as Chief Rabbi in Dublin, Ireland.
R. Yosef Rosen (1858-1936) was born in Rogatchov and studied in the Slutzk Yeshiva under the Bais Ha’Levy together with R. Chaim Soloveitchik who was five years his senior. He subsequently studied under R. Yehoshua Leib Diskin in Shklov. In 1889, he became Rav of the Chassidic community in Dvinsk which he served for nearly fifty years alongside R. Meir Simcha Ha’Cohen who was the Rav of the Misnagdim there. He was a Talmudic genius of his time famous for both his lightning grasp and prodigious memory coupled with tremendous diligence. Author of Tzofnas Pa’naiach.
