A wonderful letter from Maran the immense Gaon Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky Gaon, Av Beit Din of London, author of ‘Chazon Yechezkel’ and one of the giants of the generation, to the managers of Otzar HaPoskim, regarding ways of increasing Torah and strengthening it. 1949.
In his letter, entirely in his handwriting, he suggests that the Chief Rabbi, the great Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik Halevi Herzog, write a personal letter to Rabbi Abramsky himself, in which he will point out how lacking the means are to continue printing the important and monumental series ‘Otzar HaPoskim’. And Rabbi Abramsky will take this letter and show it to philanthropists to open their hearts and purses, so that they should assist with the printing of ‘Otzar HaPoskim’.
In this letter, we discover the immense efforts of the Gaon Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky on behalf of Otzar HaPoskim, and in general, to increase and strengthen the Torah.
In the rest of the letter, he suggests additional ways and actions for the ‘Otzar HaPoskim’.
