Letter of the "Yenuka", Rebbe Yisrael Perlow of Karlin-Stolin. Stolin, [Nisan, ca. 1900s.]


Scribal writing with the Rebbe's signature. Sent to his elder relative R. Asher HaLevi, with blessings for health, long life and satisfaction from his children, concluding with blessings for the upcoming festival of Pesach.


Rebbe Yisrael Perlow of Karlin-Stolin, known as "the Yenuka" (1868-1921), was orphaned from his father R. Asher of Stolin in his childhood, and was appointed rebbe at the young age of four and a half (!). He passed away at the age of 53, and was buried in Frankfurt, thus earning the appellation of "the Frankfurter" amongst Karlin Chassidim.
