Postcard, a division of chapters to be studied for a Yahrzeit, the organization of the disciples of the Admor the holy Rav Shimshon Altman of paks and Sendra. Bnei Berak, 1964. 

"I hereby study these Mishnayos to observe the Mitzvah of Talmud Torah may it be for the merit of the soul of my teacher and rabbi Shimshon ben Yuda and his son Rabbi Eliezer Sussman". 

[1] postcard, with a postage stamp of "Par Avion" (airmail). The name "Rabbi Shimshon ben Yuda" was printed on the postcard and his son’s name was added in script. 

The postcard was sent to Luzern, Switzerland, asking the addressee to study Mishnayos, a Sugya of the Gemora and a Siman in the book Mei Yehuda for the ascent of the soul of their rabbi, Rabbi Simshon Altman and his son. 

This postcard indicates the organized activity of Rabbi Altman’s disciples to commemorate him dozens of years after he was killed on Kiddush Hashem.


Rabbi Shimshon Altman [1890-1944] Rav and Av Beis Din of Sendra and its vicinity and Paks and its vicinity, the son of his father Rabbi Yehuda Av Beis Din of Meza-Tshate and the son-in-law of the Gaon Rabbi Shimon Sussman-Sofer the Rav of Paks. He studied with his father and later at the Pressburg Yeshiva with the holy Gaon the Da’as Sofer. Published his father’s Sefer the "Mei Yehuda" Shut on the Shulchan Aruch. Received his Hora’ah Semicha by the greatest rabbis of Hungary: the pious Geonim Rabbi Moshe Leib Vinkler, Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg and Rabbi Akiva Sofer. Rabbi Shimshon, his wife the Rebbetzin Leah, their daughter Chaya Sarah, their son Rabbi Eliezer Sussman and many others of their extended family and community perished in the Holocaust. 

Blemishes due to the postage stamp being ripped off and blemish to the upper center of the postcard, not affecting the text. Good condition.
