Letter (approx. 17 lines) handwritten and signed by R. Elazar Menachem Man Shach, dean of the Ponovezh yeshiva. Bnei Brak, Tevet 1974.
Recommendation to assist with wedding expenses, for "an elite, exceptionally G-d fearing and very modest Torah scholar, whose son is engaged to the daughter of a late Torah scholar… and therefore offer your generous support to this worthy cause… to make every effort to assist him…". R. Shach strongly recommends to philanthropists: "Lend your hand to offer generous support, since apart from the merit of helping a couple get married, this act entails support of a great Torah scholar".

He served as dean of the Kletsk yeshiva in Poland, and of the Karlin yeshiva in Luninets. During the Holocaust, he immigrated to Eretz Israel where he was appointed dean of the Kletsk yeshiva in Rechovot. He later served as the dean of the Ponovezh yeshiva in Bnei Brak. A member and chairman of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah, he was the leader of Torah Jewry for decades.

Ben Tzion Gershuni, from the Department of Torah Culture of the Ministry of Education. [Boston], summer 1959.
1. Letter on official stationery, handwritten and signed by R. Soloveitchik. Iyar 1959.
Letter discussing the translation and editing of his prominent series of articles on Torah UGeulah, first published in the Jewish Morning Journal and HaTzofeh, to be published in Israel in Hebrew.
[1] leaf (2 written pages). 21 cm. Good condition. Stains. Folding marks.
2. Typewritten letter, on R. Soloveitchik's official stationery, with his handwritten signature, and his handwritten additions and emendations. Shevat 1959.
In the letter, R. Soloveitchik explains his delay in sending the articles: "It was not in my hands. My mother fell ill, and her weakness troubled me greatly, and did not leave me enough strength to delve into in-depth study properly, therefore I deferred writing time after time until her situation improved. Thank G-d, she is returning to her previous strength".

R. Yosef Dov Soloveitchik (1903-1993), son of R. Moshe son of R. Chaim of Brisk. He served as rabbi of several prominent cities and communities in the United States, and was the dean of Yeshiva University in the US. Many books in Halacha, Aggadah and Jewish philosophy were published based on his writings and lectures. He was close in spirit to the yeshiva world, yet stood at the helm of Modern-Orthodox Jewry in the United States, and was very active in disseminating and presenting Judaism to American Jewry. Many thousands attended his lectures, and were greatly impacted by him. In his lifetime, he published two compositions which he authored: Halachic Man and The Lonely Man of Faith, but in his later years, and especially following his passing, many more books were published based on notes of his lectures. His profound philosophy served as an inspiration to many.
Enclosed: Two copies of letters from R. Ben Tzion Gershuni on this same matter.
