Mayor Ed Koch/Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan 1978- 1989. Rabbi Eliyohu Schwartz archive.
Signed letter by R. Aaron Kotler to R. Eliyahu Schwartz, Rav of the Young Israel of Bensonhurst and Menahel of Yeshivas Toras Emes (Kaminetz). R. Aaron thanks him for an appeal made in the Pine View Hotel on behalf of the Yeshiva and requests that he make an additional appeal at the Young Israel of Bensonhurst as the Yeshiva is in difficult financial straits. Lot includes two telegrams (dated 1959), one sent by R. Aaron Kotler and the other by R. Yitzchok Hutner, wishing Mazel Tov to Rabbi and Mrs. Schwartz upon the birth of a son.
Additionally, lot includes a signed letter from Mayor Ed Koch and a signed letter from Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. The variety of this correspondence demonstrates the esteem in which Rabbi Schwartz was held, both by Gedolei Torah and by L’Havdil influential politicians.
R. Aaron Kotler (1892-1963), was renowned from a young age for his brilliant mind coupled with his great diligence. He served as Rosh Yeshiva in Slutzk and Kletsk and subsequently established Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, N.J., which today is one of the largest and most prestigious Yeshivos in the world. Known as the pre-eminent Rosh Yeshiva and Torah leader of his generation he was pivotal in the re-establishment of Yeshivos after the Holocaust.
