Letter of Torah thoughts, handwritten and signed by Rabbi Yitzchak Zvi Bernfeld to the Chazon Ish. Tiberias, Tishrei 1948.
The letter is in response to the question posed by the Chazon Ish in his book (Even HaEzer Siman 118), on the words of his grandfather author of Chatam Sofer, on the laws of stains. As related in the book Ma'ase Ish (Vol. 3, page 29) Rabbi Bernfeld was sent by the Tchebiner Rav to discuss this halacha with the Chazon Ish.
Rabbi Yitzchak Zvi Bernfeld (1917-1998), grandson of the Ktav Sofer, studied in Yeshivot in Pressburg and in 1939 ascended to Eretz Israel to study from the Mahari Dushinsky and became close to the Tchebiner Rav. Served as Rabbi of Po'alei Agudat Yisrael (Pagi) neighborhood, Melbourne and Sydney (Australia) and Geneva (Switzerland). In 1972, was appointed rabbi of the Chug Chatam Sofer community of Zichron Meir in Bnei Brak. This response was printed with many changes in his book Sofer HaMelech Siman 91.
