Large and Rare Collection of [17] Letters from the Gaon Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin
I have known him, because he commands his children and his household to follow him
Large collection that includes [17] fascinating letters from the gaon Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin, chairman of Council of Torah Sages and one of the leading rabbis of Lithuania and the Land of Israel during the rehabilitation of the yeshivah world after the Holocaust. 1955-1964. Not printed.
The collection includes:
* [6] letters and aerograms containing hundreds of words, entirely in the gaon Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin's hand and with his signature.
* [10] letters from the Sorotzkin family, with a short addition handwritten and signed by the gaon Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin.
* [1] telegram text for Rabbi Moshe Feinstein from Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin. Apparently in his hand.
Fascinating, interesting letters dealing with dozens of important topics, public and also personal. The public letters deal with Chinuch Atzma'i, the apple of Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin's eye, as well as Va'ad HaYeshivot and other public issues relevant to that terrible period, yet at the same time, the period of the splendor of the reestablishment of the Torah world that had all but become extinct during the Holocaust.
The personal letters sent to his children and Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin's other family members are especially exciting. They are long letters, hundreds of words, mussar sefarim in their own rights, full of a father's love and guidance to pure fear of Heaven. These letters give us an unmediated glimpse into a fantastic series of letters between a rabbinic leader and his children, personal letters not meant for publication - and exactly for this reason, so much can be learned from them about the form of the bond that is meant to be between a parent and his children, as expressed in the intimate correspondence of the personal letters of the leader of the generation and his children - I have known him, because he commands his children and they preserve Hashem's way. The content of these letters has apparently never been printed.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Sorotzkin.
Total of [17] letters and aerograms. Various sizes.
