Recommendation Letter from Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein, Mashgiach in Mir and Ponevezh. [1954]
Recommendation letter for a bachur from Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein, Mashgiach of the Mir and Ponevezh Yeshivos to Rabbi Shmuel Hominer of Jerusalem. [1954].
[1] leaf, 14x20 cm. Brown paper.
The recommendation emphasizes the bachur's affinity to mussar, and includes Torah thoughts.
Rabbi Yechezkel (Chatzkel) Levenstein [1885-1974] was a prominent mussar personality in the last generation. He studied by the Chofetz Chaim and in Kelm where he later served as R"M in the yeshiva ketana. He was also Mashgiach in Kletzk, Mir, Lomza-Petach Tikva and Ponevezh. He authored "Ohr Yechezkel" and "Mimizrach Shemesh".
Rabbi Shmuel Hominer [1913-1977] was a mussar personality from the 'yishuv hayashan'. He learned in Eitz Chaim by Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer and was known for his righteousness, refined character traits and bitachon - about which he authored "Sefer Mitzvat HaBitachon"
