Collection of Letters from Rabbi Zvi Peretz Chajes to Avraham Kahana, 1901-1913
10 Postcards and an autograph letter sent by Rabbi Zvi Peretz Chajes to the researcher Avraham Kahana. Sent from Florence, Trieste and Lvov, to Zhitomir and Kiev, 1901-1913.
Friendly letters, containing mainly corrections and comments on essays, on the commentary on Psalms by Chajes, research matters, literature and Judaism. Chajes writes in one of the letters: "I could not undertake the commentary on the Song of Songs since so far I have not been thoroughly involved with it, and it is one of the most difficult ones".
Zvi Peretz Chajes (1876-1927), rabbi, historian and researcher of the bible, was born in Galicia where he studied in a Yeshiva and was ordained as rabbi. From 1901 he served as the community rabbi in Florence, taught in the Rabbinic Seminary in Florence and served as teacher of biblical studies in the local university. In 1912 he was appointed rabbi of the Trieste community. As of 1918 he served as Chief Rabbi of Vienna and established a seminary for teachers. He was one of the first rabbis who supported Zionism, and the first chairman of the Zionist Executive Committee. Died in Vienna in 1927 and was buried in Tel Aviv.
