R. Yosef Eliyahu Henkin/Chinuch Atzmai. New York 1957.
Autograph letter by R. Yosef Eliyahu Henkin to R. Zalman Sorotzkin. He writes of a donation someone had asked him to forward to Chinuch Atzmai, as well as the donor’s request that they pray for him and his family.
He concludes the letter by writing that he had recently published his work Lev Ivra and requests that if R. Sorotzkin has the opportunity he should peruse it.
Includes the original envelope, as well as a transcript of a letter (dated 1957) sent by R. Zalman Sorotzkin, R. Yechezkel Sarna and R. Eliezer Yehuda Finkel to R. Henkin regarding Chinuch Atzmai.
R. Yosef Eliyahu Henkin (1881- 1973), was born in Klimavichy, and studied at the Slutzker Yeshiva under Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer. Known from a young age as brilliant and extremely diligent, he received Semicha from R. Meltzer, as well as from R Yaakov Dovid Wilovsky (RIDVAZ), R. Boruch Ber Leibowitz and R. Yechiel Michel Epstein (Oruch Ha’Shulchon). After serving as Rav in a number of Russian .towns, he immigrated to America in 1922. Upon arrival he was quickly recognized as one of the preeminent Poskim in the U.S.A. Renowned as a tremendous Talmid Chochom as well as great Tzaddik, in 1925 he became the director of Ezras Torah, directing the distribution of millions of dollars assistance to the needy, although he personally lived extremely frugally.
