拍品描述
Long interesting autograph letter signed by Rabbi Pinchas Hirshprung. On the verso of the second leaf is another autograph letter signed by Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Hershberg. Kobe, Japan, [summer 1941]. The letter was sent to the US, to their friend Rabbi Yosef Mordechai Boimel, and it reminds the latter of their old friendship. "You surely remember the pilpul which you wrote to me in 1925 about...". Rabbi Pinchas describes the painful exile which he and his companions from the Lublin Yeshiva were experiencing, fleeing the European inferno. "At this time, at which I remained alone and lonely and all my acquaintances were dispersed in every direction and I am wandering despondent...". He cries for help to receive immigration certificates to the US or to Canada: "Please have compassion - a decree of exile hovers over our heads. Who knows what our end will be...". On the verso is an eight-line letter by Rabbi "Avraham Mordechai Hershberg, Rosh Metivta of the Chochmei Lublin Yeshiva", who requests help "And do everything possible for us to assist us in all matters". Both writers were renowned outstanding Torah prodigies who had a profound command of depth and breadth of Torah study. Rabbi Pinchas Hirshprung (1912-1998) and Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Hershberg (1916-1985), leading beloved disciples of Rabbi Meir Shapira, head of the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva. At the outbreak of World War II, they fled to Vilna and from there exiled to Japan and later to Shanghai with a group of Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva students. In October 1941, Rabbi Pinchas Hirshprung and Rabbi Hershberg managed to immigrate with a group of young men to Montreal, Canada. Rabbi Pinchas remained in Montreal to serve in its rabbinate for more than 50 years, at the same time serving as head of the Mercaz HaTorah Yeshiva. Rabbi Hershberg moved to Chicago, and served in its rabbinate and taught Torah. In 1960, he was appointed Chief Rabbi of Mexico City and president of the Rabbinical Center of Latin America. He devoted much of his time to study of the Yerushalmi Talmud and even founded an institute to promote its daily study. He authored: Otzar HaYerushalmi, Machshevet HaKodesh, and more. 2 leaves, (stationery of the Centre Hotel - Yokohama), 3 written pages. 25 cm. Good condition. A small passage of this letter is quoted in an article written about Rabbi Hershprung, Yeshurun, 26, p. 143.
