Item Details
Description
Letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Yosef Av Beit Din of Slonim, to Rabbi Shmuel Salant concerning inheritance money of a Jew who died in Jerusalem, sent by Rabbi Shmuel Salant to divide among his heirs abroad. Slonim, 1889.
Rabbi Yosef Shlopfer (died in 1905, Otzar HaRabbanim 8660), "the Dinaburg genius" student of Volozhin Yeshiva. Son-in-law of the renowned Rabbi Itzele Charif (Yehoshua Isaac Shapira), Av Beit Din of Slonim. He is the subject of the famous story: Rabbi Itzele chose him as a son-in-law because he ran after the wagon traveling from the Volozhin Yeshiva to ask Rabbi Itzele the answer to his question.
He served as Rabbi of Dretchin and in 1885 succeeded his father-in-law as Rabbi of Slonim until his death in 1905. Rabbi Mordechai Ushminer succeeded him as Rabbi of Slonim.
Leaf, 22 cm. 12 handwritten lines. Good condition.
