Letter of Good Year Wishes from Rebbe Yechezkel HaLevi Halstock, Second Rebbe of Ostrovtza - Inowłódz, 1913
Letter handwritten and signed by Rebbe Yechezkel HaLevi Halstock, during his tenure as rabbi of Inowłódz (Poland). Inowłódz, Elul 1913.
Addressed to one of his disciples, the rebbe confirms the reception of his letter containing Torah thoughts, and promises to study it and write him a longer response in the future. The letter concludes with blessings for the new year, and is signed "Yechezkel HaLevi, rabbi of this community, son of the rebbe".
R. Yechezkel HaLevi Halstock, second Ostrovtza Rebbe (1887-1942, perished in the Holocaust), was the son of Rebbe Meir Yechiel HaLevi Rabbi of Ostrovtza ("the tzaddik who fasted for 40 years"). An outstanding Torah scholar and holy man. He served as rabbi of Inowłódz, Nasielsk and later as rebbe and rabbi of Ostrovtza. He founded the Beit Meir network of yeshivot, where many students studied following the special study method of the Ostrovtza rebbes - sharpness and erudition in all areas of Torah study. He and all his descendants (seven sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren) were murdered in the Holocaust.
