ETTLINGER, JACOB.
(The Aruch LaNer, 1798-1871). Autograph Letter Signed, written in Hebrew to Zalman Vitkowsky.
Concerning the recipient’s son: “It is sweet for my soul to make your heart happy… Your son Yochanan is studying assiduously and follows an appropriate path… I will continue to watch over and guide him. I am also sending you my newly published work “Aruch LaNer.”?* Letter tipped into Printed Book: Aruch LaNer [on Trac. Yevamoth]. First edition. Altona, 1850. [Vinograd, Altona 266].
Altona: Friday, Parshath Chukath 1850
The recipient was enthralled to receive this presentation copy of Sepher Aruch LaNer and wrote on the title: “Sent to me from the Gaon as per his letter, as a remembrance of love… May I always study it.” With stamp on the front flyleaf “Yochanan Vitkower, Altona.” Obviously, this is the son about whom the above letter was written. He likely changed his name from Vitkowsky to Vitkower. The Aruch LaNer was one of the foremost German Rabbinical leaders. In additional to his scholarly Talmudic works and responsa, he also edited the periodical Shomer Tzion Hane’eman which sought to combat the rising influence of the Reform movement by publishing popular and timely articles on a host of topics pertinent to Orthodox Jewry.
