Ten letters, mostly long and detailed, handwritten by R. Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz - the Chazon Ish, from his correspondence with R. Yaakov Landau Rabbi of Bnei Brak, on various halachic topics (Eruvin, kashrut and shechitah, Choshen Mishpat, and more). [Bnei Brak, ca 1940s].
Ten letters handwritten by the Chazon Ish (seven of them are signed), two are written on the letters sent to the Chazon Ish by R. Landau.
The letters pertain to Eruv enhancements, shechitah and terefot, acceptance of a shochet, kashrut, the kashrut for Passover of water from the municipal water supply, operating the municipal water supply pool on Shabbat, a Din Torah regarding the renting of a house to a synagogue, and more.
These letters disclose the close relationship which developed between the Chazon Ish and R. Landau (who was fifteen years younger than the Chazon Ish). The Chazon Ish relied on him and on his halachic rulings, and greatly valued his responsibility, devotion and firm stance on all halachic matters in Bnei Brak.
In one particularly interesting letter, the Chazon Ish on the one hand praises R. Landau for his dedication to the development of the Bnei Brak eruv, yet on the other hand explains why he instructs individuals not to rely on the eruv on Shabbat.
10 letters handwritten by the Chazon Ish. Size varies. Overall good condition.
Enclosed: envelope with a (penciled) letter addressed to R. Landau, handwritten and signed by R. Dov Maayani (rabbi of Magdiel) - bringing the opinion of the Chazon Ish on a communal matter.
