Handwritten Letter from Reb Chaim Ozer Grodzensky appealing for Rabbi Rafael Shapira's Grandchildren. Vilna 1934
Reb Chaim Ozer asks help on behalf of Rabbi Shaul Shapira granson of Rabbi Rafael Shpiro ZT"L who learned in Leeds and is now there with his wife and daughter, who is a granddaughter of the Katzenelenbogen Book dealers in Vilna..
Reb. Chaim Ozer Grodzensky (1863-1940), was born into a distinguished rabbinical family and was renowned from a young age for his brilliant mind coupled with great diligence. He initially learned in Eisheshok and later in Volozhin under R. Chaim Soloveitchik. He married the daughter of R. Eliyahu Eliezer Grodzensky, a leading Rov in Vilna (son-in-law of R. Yisroel Salanter), whom he later succeeded. He dedicated his life to the needs of the Jewish People and was recognized as the leading Posek and spiritual leader of his generation, consulted on virtually every Jewish communal issue. He played an instrumental role in preserving Lithuanian Yeshivos during the beginning of the Communist era, and led the yeshivas of Poland and Russia after the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, arranging for these yeshivas to relocate to Lithuanian villages.
