Letter on matters of charity for a family of a widow and orphans handwritten and signed by the great Gaon Rabbi Zelig Reuven Bengis, Rosh Av Beis Din of HaEidah HaChareidis and author of Sefer Liflagos Reuven. Jerusalem, 1945.
In the letter that was written to the activist Rabbi Moshe Glickman-Porush, Rabbi Bengis requests on behalf of several people who had appealed to him for the family of Rabbi Yaakov Sirota of Batei Neitin, where Rabbi Bengis also lived, who left after his passing a family of ten. He blesses with all blessings, life of goodness and peace.
Maran the Gaon Rabbi Zelig Reuven Bengis (1864-1953) Rosh Av Beis Din of HaEidah HaChareidis in Jerusalem and one of Gedolei Hador. Was born in Šnipiškės to his father Rabbi Zvi Hirsch. When he was approx. seventeen, he began studying at the Volozhin Yeshiva where he became close to his Rav the Natziv, who even called him ‘a living Shas’. The Gaon Rabbi Bengis received his Semicha by the greatest of his generation: his Rav the Natziv, the Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Elchonon Spektor and the Gaon Rabbi Chaim of Brisk. Served as Rav in several holy communities until in 1938, he was called to serve as Rosh Av Beis Din of HaEdah HaChareidis in Jerusalem and immigrated to the Holy Land. In Jerusalem, he mightily led the community (although he had no tendency to zealousness). After his passing, he was succeeded by the Gaon Rabbi Yosef Zvi Dushinsky. His disciples included Maran the Gaon Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and the Gaon Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv.
[1] official stationery of the Rosh Av Beis Din. Handwritten and signed by him and with his stamp. 21X14 cm. Ink stains. Slight wear and fold marks. Good-very good condition.
