Letter by Rabbi Shmuel Leovicher and Rabbi Yaakov Meir Raguler – Vilnius, 1894
Letter sent to Rabbi Shmuel Salant, regarding funds for Eretz Israel and the “instigators” against matters of the Vilnius Kollel. Signed by managers of the Kollel: Rabbi Shmuel son of Yosef Zhibertinsky, Rabbi Yaakov Meir and Rabbi Shimon Strasson. Vilnius, 1894.
The Ga’on Rabbi Shmuel Zhibertinsky (1818-1898), among greatest rabbis and teachers of Torah in Vilnius. Better known as Rabbi Shmuel Leovicher after his native village Leovich. Arrived to study in Vilnius in his youth, where he studied together with his colleague Rabbi Alexander Moshe Lapidot by Rabbi Yisrael of Salant. Throughout the years he became famous and was considered one of greatest Torah scholars of the city, and after the demise of Ga’on Rabbi Yaakov Barret (rabbi of the Chafetz Chaim) and Rabbi Yosef Skovitz, he succeeded them as rabbinical authority and chief of the Beit Din in Vilnius. Was famous in his generation for his tremendous proficiency and sharpness. His genius book Olat Shmuel, was printed after his demise by his grandson (son-in-law of his son) and successor, Rabbi Chanoch Henich Eigis, rabbi in Vilnius.
The Ga’on Rabbi Yaakov Meir Raguler (of city of Raguly; his family name was Kamentsky), exalted genius and famous Tzadik. Colleague and friend from youth of Ga’on Rabbi Eliyahu Rabinowitz-Teomim, who often refers to him in his writings. Corresponded with Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor. Studied Torah from morning until night wrapped in prayer shawl and donning phylacteries, while his wife managed a large shop. After her demise he relocated to city of Vilnius, and was considered one of pillars of the city. Supervised the charity funds for Eretz Israel in Lithuania and its vicinity. Passed away approximately in 1901.
This letter was written during the period of the disputes in the institutional offices in Jerusalem, which affected fundraising worldwide, see items 248 and 338.
