Historical letter by Rabbi Yitzchak Matityahu Luria, a prominent Slonim Chassid in Eretz Yisrael, to Rabbi Shalom Noach Barzosky (son-in-law of the "Birkat Avraham" and later Slonim Rebbe - Jerusalem), with the text of the ordination letter to Rabbi Mordechai Chaim Kastelanitz-Slonim. [Tiberias, 1950].
In the letter, he writes of the decision to have the Chassidic elders of three cities, Tiberias Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, sign the coronation writ of the eldest of the group, Rabbi Mordechai Chaim Slonim, as Rebbe of Slonim "Chassidim". He suggests that to expedite the matter, each city should sign a separate letter but the version shall be the same without any changes.
At the top of the letter typewritten with handwritten additions is the version of the coronation writ "In honor of our friend the Chassid, Eldest of our group Rabbi Mordechai Chaim Shlita".
21 cm. Good condition.
