A letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Nachum Meir [Karelitz-Tzivolnik] Av Beit Din of Maišiagala, to his brother-in-law the Chazon Ish and his brother Rabbi Meir Karelitz in which he informs them of the state of health of their sick sister. Maišiagala, 1934.
On the margins of the letter, his wife Rebbetzin Batya adds in her handwriting: "Shalom and all the best, Bashka". Their young son [8 years old who later became famous, Rabbi Nissim Karelitz of Bnei Brak] added in his childish handwriting: "Shalom, Nissim".
Rabbi Nachum Meir Tzivolnik-Karelitz (1889-Tevet 1958), student of the Volozhin, Kelm, Radin and Mir Yeshivot, son-in-law of Rabbi Shmaryahu Yosef Karelitz Av Beit Din of Kosava, served in the rabbinate of Maišiagala, Vilna district. Due to the weak state of health of his wife Rebbetzin Batya, he ascended to Eretz Israel in 1938. He served in the rabbinate of the Heligman Synagogue in Bnei Brak and headed the Center of Torah Education in Eretz Israel. He established the Zichron Meir Kollel for Young Men which was later called Kollel Chazon Ish.
