Beautiful long letter by Rav Schach, Bnei Brak 1974.
Letter (approx. 17 lines) handwritten and signed by R. Elazar Menachem Man Shach, dean of the Ponovezh yeshiva. Bnei Brak, Tevet 1974.
Recommendation to assist with wedding expenses, for "an elite, exceptionally G-d fearing and very modest Torah scholar, whose son is engaged to the daughter of a late Torah scholar… and therefore offer your generous support to this worthy cause… to make every effort to assist him…". R. Shach strongly recommends to philanthropists: "Lend your hand to offer generous support, since apart from the merit of helping a couple get married, this act entails support of a great Torah scholar".
R. Elazar Menachem Man Shach (1899-2001), was born in Lithuania and studied in his youth in the Ponovezh, Slabodka and Slutsk yeshivot. He served as dean of the Kletsk yeshiva in Poland, and of the Karlin yeshiva in Luninets. During the Holocaust, he immigrated to Eretz Israel where he was appointed dean of the Kletsk yeshiva in Rechovot. He later served as the dean of the Ponovezh yeshiva in Bnei Brak. A member and chairman of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah, he was the leader of Torah Jewry for decades.
