A letter by the renowned Rabbi Avraham Menachem Steinberg, to Rabbi Yoseph Zecharia Stern Rabbi of Shavl. Snetin, 1894.
Rabbi Avraham Menachem Steinberg (1847-1921, Encyclopedia L'Chachmei Galicia, 5, pages 161-172), a prominent Galician rabbi and an important Ruzhin Chassid. Served in the rabbinate of Snetin and Brody, and exchanged responsa with all the great rabbis of his generation in various countries. He authored the book of responsa Machaze Avraham. Apparently, this responsum was not printed; see Machaze Avraham Part 1 Siman 56 where another responsum was printed from a different date (c. two weeks after this responsum).
4 large pages closely written, 29 cm. Poor condition, many tears with missing text, glued restoration.
