Lengthy Letter from Rabbi Yosef Chizkiyahu Mishkovsky, Av Beit Din of Krinek.
Extraordinarily lengthy letter [4 pages], entirely in the hand of the gaon of Krinek, Rabbi Yosef Chizkiyahu Mishkovsky, to the administrators of the Etz Chaim yeshivah "together with Rabbi Yechiel Michel Tukachinsky."
The content of the letter was not examined in depth, but it apparently deals with current community issues.
Rabbi Yosef Chizkiyahu Mishkovsky [1884-1947] was also known as the gaon of Krinek. He was one of the rabbinic leaders of pre-Holocaust Poland and one of the leaders of Va'ad HaYeshivot in Poland and in the Land of Israel. In his youth, he studied at yeshivahs in Lomza, Telz, Novhardok and Radin. When he was only 18 years old, in 1902, he published his book
Pnei HeAri HaChai. He was a close associate of the Chafetz Chaim and of Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky, and served as their emissary for many current issues. He married a daughter of the tzaddik R' Itzeleh Blazer and ascended together with him to the Land of Israel, where he settled in Jerusalem. The famous yeshivah Knesset Chizkiyahu in Kfar Chassidim was named after him, where "The Mashgiach, " Rabbi Dov Jaffe, served until the end of his life.
[4] pp, approximately 20x12 cm. Entirely in his hand and with his signature. Placed in a postmarked period envelope with notations in a foreign language. Fine condition. Fold marks. Minimal stains.
