Letter on Limud Handwritten and Signed by the Gaon Rabbi Yaakov Arieli the Father of the Gaon Rabbi Asher Arieli Shlita to the Seridei Esh - Jerusalem, 1951 - Lengthy letter on Limud by the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Yaakov Arieli, addressed to the Gaon Rabbi Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg, author of the Seridei Esh. On one side of the letter, Rabbi Yaakov refers to a letter that the addressee had sent him and writes lengthy Divrei Torah on the matter of Me'ilah. At the end of the page, he writes:  ”וכעת הנני עסוק ביישוב שיטת הגאונים שהביא הרמב”ם... והנני להציע לפני הדר”ג שליט”א מה שהעליתי בזה בעה”י”. Indeed, on verso of the leaf, he writes his opinion on the matter, ending with the words: ”אקוה שישים עינו עליהם לטובה ויכבדני בתשובתו, ברחשי כבוד ובהערצה רבה, דר”ש מרעיתי תחי'. דו”ש באה”ר יעקב אריאלי”.
