Letter from Rabbi Chaim Shmuelevitz, Rosh Yeshiva of Mir
"I have already revealed my opinion... that I am the strongest opponent of this gathering."
Airmail from Rabbi Chaim Shmuelevitz, Rosh Yeshiva of Mir, dated 1967.
In his letter, Rabbi Chaim strongly opposes a certain convention. It remains unclear which convention he is referring to.
He writes:
"And I will pray to Hashem that he succeed in his battle for the glory of Heaven and our holy Torah… and I pray
at the holy sites that Hashem should fulfill the desires of our friends for the good."
Rabbi Chaim Shmuelevitz (1902 - 1979) was known from his youth as the "
Iluy of Stetchin." He transferred from the Grodna Yeshiva to the Mir in 1924 where he immediately claimed his position among the yeshiva's top crop. In 1929 he married the daughter of the Rosh Yeshiva. Rabbi Chaim served at the helm of the yeshiva during its exile in Shanghai, and succeeded his father-in-law's position following his death in 1964.
