Letter by Rabbi Charlap - Regarding the Plans of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook to Print the Halacha Berurah Talmud
Autograph letter signed by the kabbalist R. Ya'akov Moshe Charlap. Jerusalem, 1936.
Sent to R. Eliyahu Mordechai HaLevi Wolkovsky, author of Ma'arechet HaTalmud V'Haposkim, inquiring about the opinion of his teacher and rabbi the Ra'ayah Kook regarding the printing of the Talmud with his composition Halacha Berura: "…Our Rabbi has agreed to the printing of the Talmud is this manner, that the Halacha Berura will appear on the sheet, and Ma'arechet HaTalmud V'Haposkim will appear at the end of the tractate…". Further in the letter, R. Charlap writes about manuscripts of Rabbi Kook which are in his possession.
R. Ya'akov Moshe Charlap (1882-1951) was a prominent Jerusalem Torah sage and tsaddik, head of the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva and Rabbi of the Sha'arei Chesed neighborhood. He was a close disciple of R. Zvi Hirsh Michel Shapira, the Zvi LaTsaddik, and in his youth was close to the Maharil Diskin. His father, R. Zevulun Charlap was one of the heads of the Maharil's Beit Din. Remarkably erudite in Talmud and halacha, he also performed wonders and gave wise counsel to those who sought his advice. He studied kabbalah extensively and had contact with the concealed kabbalist groups in Jerusalem who secretly gathered for Kabbalistic tikunim and yichudim. Upon the arrival of R. Kook in Jerusalem, R. Charlap followed him, eventually becoming his close disciple. He was one of the founders of the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva and after the death of his teacher the Ra'ayah, he was nominated for the office of Chief Rabbi of Eretz Israel (in 1937). At the end of his life, he established the Beit Zvul Yeshiva. His halachic works are titled Beit Zvul, and his series of books on Jewish thought is titled Mei Merom.
