Description
Early letter, from 1925, written and signed by Rabbi Avraham Kalmanowitz.
Handwritten text on both sides of a postcard - Yiddish with a little Hebrew. New Year's greetings to his brother and sister-in-law. "May it be His will..that you live a long, good life..." The rabbi includes a story about a family member who gave birth in her home, because she did not get to the hospital in time. He also discusses his mother-in-law's visit to Vilna and other family affairs.
Rabbi Avraham Kalmanowitz [1891-1964] was the Rabbi of Rakov, and then Tiktin [Tykocin, Poland]. He was a confidante of the Chofetz Chaim and Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinsi, a leader of the Va'ad Hatzalah of the Agudat HaRabanim in the United States, and the Rosh Yeshiva of Mir in the US. He was of great assistance to the Mir Yeshiva while it was exiled in Shanghai during the Second World War.
