Rare Letter by Rabbi Mordche’le of Oshmina; Slonim, 1911.
Handwritten letter of endorsement signed by Rabbi Mordechai Wiesel Rosenblatt, better known as Rabbi Mordche’le Oshminer, including his large, impressive stamp at the end.
The letter is addressed to Rabbi Yaakov Chaim Sarna of Oshmina, written during the time that he wished to publish the manuscripts of his father, Rabbi Shraga Feivel Sarna, Av Beis Din of Haridak.
Rabbi Yaakov Chaim was the father of Rabbi Yechezkel Sarna, Rosh Yeshiva of Chevron.
Rabbi Mordche’le Oshminer (1837 – 1916) was renowned throughout Lithuania and Poland as a pious scholar and miracle worker. Thousands would flock to him for blessing, and countless miraculous stories are accredited to him. The load of travelers seeking blessing became so heavy that Rabbi Mordche’le was forced to request that people refrain from coming to him. Rabbi Mordche’le won the respect of the generation’s leaders and the Chafetz Chaim himself attested that Rabbi Mordche’le put himself in danger countless times for the sake of strengthening religion.
