A unique letter by the great Gaon of Tshebin about the distribution of his Dovev Meisharim books, which he had written in Siberia. Jerusalem, Menachem Av 1951.
In the letter, the Gaon of Tshebin describes the new books he merited publishing after he immigrated from the frozen prairies of Siberia, where he had wandered for years and where he had written them: ‘חלק משו"ת הכתובים בימים הקשים ההם ד’ ירחם על שארית עמו ואך טוב ישכון באהליהם כל הימים אמן כן יהי רצון’.
In his modesty, the holy Gaon of Tshebin writes that he hopes Sages will find his books worthy: ‘אם חכמי ישראל ימצאו בספר דברי חפץ’. The letter is printed and hand-signed by him.
