Important and Sacred Public-Historic Letter Handwritten by the Levushei Mordechai, Av Beit Din of Mád
Lengthy sacred public letter [over 200 words], with important and interesting historic content, entirely handwritten and signed by the sacred gaon Rabbi Mordechai Leib Winkler, av beit din of Mád, author of Levushei Mordechai, and with his personal stamp. Mád, Thursday of Parashat Mishpatim, 1918. Unprinted.
This letter was written by the Levushei Mordechai in honor of his beloved disciple the gaon Rabbi Yisrael Leibowitz, av beit din of Fakta. It appears from this letter that Rabbi Leibowitz pioneered of yeshivahs for ba'alei teshuvah (unheard of at the time) and he built and established a yeshivah gedolah in the city of Ungvar.
The Levushei Mordechai, in this letter of rare length, praises this new and important "invention" and attributes to it the hastening of the redemption! Inter alia, he salutes the rosh yeshivah's activities with "the sons of military men who were left with no refuge, that they not be lost, Heaven forbid, without Torah and fear of Heaven." This lengthy letter demonstrates that the Levushei Mordechai goes out of his way to praise the rosh yeshivah, who he refers to as "my disciple, my honorable friend, the rabbi, the gaon and tzaddik, Rabbi Yisrael Leibowitz, presently av beit din of Fakta, whom I have known since his youth" and the yeshivah he established that raises those young men, producing "exceptional people, who consistently study in lessons on Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah and Orach Chaim." Who knows how many Hungarian Chassidim owe their Torah lives to that very yeshivah in Ungvar that extracted these precious gems from being lost!
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the sacred gaon Rabbi Mordechai Leib Winkler.
It is important to point out that the rare letters are typically brief, and most deal with halachah proper, yet this is a lengthy and important letter of worldview, and it contains important, historic and rare content.
