An early and rare personal letter in the holy hand of the Admor Rabbi Eliezer Zev of Kretshnif to his brother the Admor of Nadvorna concerning their parent’s trip to Pest.
The Admor was only 22 years old when he wrote this letter.
The holy miracle worker, the Admor Rabbi Eliezer Zev of Kretshnif (1880-1944) was the son of Rabbi Meir of Kretshnif. He lived in the city of Nadvorna and was supported by his father-in-law, the Raavad of the city. At the age of 16 he was already a community leader, and upon his father’s passing, assumed his position as Rav of Kretshnif. He later served as Rav of Sighet until he was murdered in Auschwitz. His life, and the wonders he performed are chronicled in Raza D’uvda.
He was the father of the Admor Rabbi Dovid Moshe Rosenbaum of Kretshnif, and the grandfather of the Admorim of Kretshnif-Chadera, Kretshnif-Kiryat Gat, and Premishlan-Bnei Brak.
