Autograph Letter Signed written in Hebrew on letterhead to Rabbi Meir Berlin (aka Bar-Ilan).

Jerusalem, 21st Shevat, 1941.


While a student at Volozhin, R. Isser Zalman Meltzer was intimately involved in the Chovevei Tzion movement. After a stint teaching in Slabodka, he was appointed Rosh Yeshiva of Slutzk before immigrating to Eretz Israel where he led the Eitz Chaim Yeshiva. Influential in his own right, with a long list of prominent Jewish leaders as students, his influence on the yeshiva world continues through his son-in-law, R. Aharon Kotler, and the Torah empire he created in Lakewood, NJ.


R. Meir Berlin (1880-1949) was the youngest son of the Netzi’v of Volozhin. A student in some of the great European yeshivoth, he became a leader in the Mizrachi Movement. In America, where he lived from 1914, and in Eretz Israel from 1923, he was involved in many relief organizations and efforts on behalf of European Jewry. He was a founder of the Encyclopedia Talmudit and prolific author in both Yiddish and Hebrew.
