Letter with Divrei Torah on a Polemic Issue - Handwritten by the Gaon Rabbi Moshe Berman Rav in Rochester, New York - Polemic - sharp letter about a controversy regarding saying Kel Melech Neeman before Keriat Shema - handwritten by the Gaon Rabbi Moshe Berman Rav in Rochester, New York - addressed to a Jewish journal.  Rabbeinu wrote his letter following an article written by someone who tried to settle the questions of Rabbeinu the Remah about saying Kel Melech Neeman before Keriat Shema, basing his article on the Yerushalmi.  Rabbi Berman wrote this letter in response, defending the Remah and attacking the writer for complaining about him:  ”ושם.. מצא מקום ומקור למנהג... אומר אמ”נ קודם קריאת שמע ואלמלא היה הרב... ממציא לנו מרגניתא חדתא.. ולא הרהיב בנפשו ללין על הרמ”ה הייתי מחריש... הניף ידו על חד מקמאי להסיר כל תלונותיו על המנהג הזה אתאפק לא אוכל והנני משיב על דבריו....”. At the end of the letter, he writes: ”הלוואי שנבין את דבריהם הקדושים ולא להשיג עליהם...”. (May we understand their sacred words and not criticise them).  Official stationery.  21X28 cm.  Good condition.  Rabbi Moshe ben Rabbi Avraham Pinchas Berman was born in Russia.
