Yom Kippur Machzor. Belonged to Rabbi Elchanan Bunim Wasserman hy”d, During his Lifetime. Exceedingly rare.
Rabbi Wasserman was born in 1877 in Birz. He learned in Slabodka, and was a student of the Torah giants, Rabbi Chaim Soloveichik, Rabbi Shimon Shkop of Grodna. He was a very close pupil of the Chafetz Chaim. Rabbi Wasserman learned and taught in Brisk and Radin and was Rosh Yeshiva of Kol Torah. In 1941 when his students were sent to the valley of death, Rabbi Wasserman had the opportunity to save himself. Rabbi Wasserman insisted, “I would rather be buried alive among my people, with my pure and holy Jewish brethren. Their lot is my lot, and what is decreed upon them will be my portion too.” May G-d avenge his blood. abbi Wasserman was born in 1877 in Birz.
