Rabbi Ze’ev Wolf ben Rabbi Yosef Wolf of the Krodenburg community (in north-western Germany) lived in Amsterdam during the years 1843-1850 at Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Lehren’s house, where he taught the members of the family, especially the sons of Rabbi Akiva Lehren, who was Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Lehren’s brother and brother-in-law, Torah. After his marriage, he left his position in the Lehren house and opened a yeshiva in Sermbeck, Germany (which was close to the Dutch border). The yeshiva closed after five years, when the German communities stopped sending their sons to yeshivas. His son, Rabbi Pinchas Wolf, served as a Rav abroad and in Petach Tikvah, for almost seventy years.
Rabbi Zvi Hirsch ben Rabbi Avraham Moshe Lehren (1784-1853) a philanthropist and senior banker of the "Holland et Lehren" Bank, who retired from his work at the bank to establish and head the Organization of Clerks and Administrators of Amsterdam (Kollel Hod). He supervised the donations for Torah learners in the Holy Land in the communities of western and central Europe.
These letters were written after Rabbi Ze’ev Wolf left the Lehren family in 1850 and before the passing of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Lehren in 1853.
