original Letter from Rabbi Meir Shapira of Lublin. 1924

Handwritten and signed letter from the famed Rabbi Meir Shapira addressed to his wife during his tenure in Piotrków. 

Rabbi Shapira wrote this letter at the beginning of his rabbinical journey while away from home. He updates his wife on his well-being and inquires about the departure of a boat he was due to board.

The letter is written on an official letterhead postcard as Rabbi of Piotrków and is dated 1924.


Rabbi Meir Shapira of Lublin (1887 – 1933) was the Av Beis Din of Piotrków and Lublin and the famed Rosh Yeshiva of the prestigious Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin. After instituting the Daf HaYomi, his name became synonymous with the Daf HaYomi throughout the world. Rabbi Meir was also one of the founders of the Agudas Yisrael and a loyal delegate of the Polish parliament. Although he passed away childless, Rabbi Meir would say that he had two children: The Daf HaYomi and Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin.
