”Letter from Novaminsker Rebbe – Rabbi Nachum Mordechai Perlow. Brooklyn 1959.   A nice handwritten letter from the Admor of Novaminsk – Rabbi Nochum Mordechai Perlov. Dated 1959 Rabbi Nachum Mordecai Perlow of Novominsk/New York (1897-1976). Son of R. Alter Israel Shimon, he was born in Minsk Mazowiesk and was ordained by R. Eliezer Shalom of Parczev and R. Samuel of Wengrov. In 1916, he married Beila Rehuma (d. 1987), the daughter of R. Yitzhak Zelig Morgenstern of Sokolov. He visited the Holy Land in 1925. In 1927 he emigrated to the United States, settling first in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn, later moving to Crown Heights, and for the last six years of his life living in Borough Park, Brooklyn. He was a member of the Mo'etzet Gedolei HaTorah and was active in the Chinuch Atzmai and the Russian immigrant rescue fund. He was a member of the presidium of the Aguda. He edited his grandfather's work Shufrah D'Yaakov (Jerusalem, 1964) and published his father's work Tiferet Ish on Festivals (Jerusalem, 1969). He gained ever increasing recognition in the United States in hasidic as well as in Torah circles due to his scholarship and the active role he played in communal affairs. He was widely acclaimed for his diligence in Torah study. Most of his discourses have not as yet been published.”
