Collection of Letters from Roshei Yeshivot – Sent to Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv
Collection of six important letters, from leading yeshiva deans in Eretz Israel, sent to R. Yosef Shalom Elyashiv. 1960-1996.
1. Letter of halachic responsa (3 pages) from R. Ben Zion Abba-Shaul dean of the Porat Yosef yeshiva. Written by a scribe on behalf of and signed by the rabbi. Jerusalem, Cheshvan 1987. R. Ben Zion begins the letter with titles of veneration, and further in the letter apologizes for the delay in responding, "since I am not in my strength, and cannot write myself, as soon as I met up with my secretary… I hurried to respond to his holy words" (this letter was written after paralysis affected his ability to write, and in his signature, it is apparent that he exerted himself to sign personally out of respect for the recipient of the letter).

Addressed to "His honor my friend, the outstanding Torah scholar R. Yosef Shalom Elyashiv and his father-in-law the pious rabbi [R. Aryeh Levine]".
