Semicha Document by the Great gaon Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak Reines Av Beis Din of Lida.

In the letter, the Gaon Rabbi Reines indicates that he has examined the character of Rabbi Avraham ben Rabbi Baruch of Janava (who already has a Semicha document by the Gaon Rabbi Raphael Shapiro of Volozhin author of Toras Raphael) and debated several issues at length with him and found him to be a treasure of precious objects and worthy of ruling Yoreh Yoreh Yadin Yadin.

The Gaon Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak Reines (1839-1915), one of the greatest rabbis of Lithuania. In his youth syudied at the Volozhin Yeshiva were he became renowned as an Iluy, a great scholar and most knowledgeable. At a young age, he married the daughter of Rabbi Yosef Reisin Rosh A Beis Din of Telz and Slonim. Served as Rav in various communities (Lida, Shvintzian and Manchester, England to which he travelled after receiving a promise to fund the printing of his great Sefer – a commentary on the entire Shulcha Aruch. Yet he soon returned to Lithuania since he saw that his hands were tied and he could do nothing to strenthen religion. This decision led to his great enterprise on the Shulchan Aruch to come to nothing). Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak was one of the founders of HaMizrachi.
