* Rare letter by the Tzaddik Gaon Rabbi Moshe Schneider of London, from his youth.

In his letter, he expresses the cry of the yeshiva he had established in Frankfurt am Main in the days before World War II. He writes in 1926 to his friend Rabbi Moshe Kovlantz that he expects to receive signs of life and a donation from him, adding ‘we will be in dire straits if his honor is unable to send us and maybe he could send us food such as cofee, tea and sugar… like he had sent previously‘.

* Letter handwritten by the Tzaddik Gaon Rabbi Henich Padova. Sent to the Gaon Rabbi Raphael Soloveitchik the son of Maran the Rav of Brisk, dealing with courses of action for the great enterprises of the great Gaon Rabbi Soloveitchik against desecration of graves in the Holy Land.

Rabbi Henich Padova writes: "Fighting G-d’s wars making up the hedge and standing in the breach" and describes the strange method in London where an individual influences only the members of his community and the worshippers of his synagogue. London, 1979.

* Letter handwritten by the Tzaddik Gaon Rabbi Chanoch Henich Padova with blessings to an enthusiastic activist for a joyful event in his family.
