Manuscripts and Letters - Rabbi Zalman Kiselgof, Assistant Chief Rabbi of Moscow
Letters, a picture and a handwritten notebooks of the laws of Shabbat and homilies, in the handwriting of Rabbi Zalman Natan HaCohen Kiselgof, a rabbi in Moscow. Ca. 1960-1970.
Sent to his friend Rabbi Elchanan Sorotzkin, and printed in the book BeMetzar - Birkat HaZan, published by Mossad HaRav Kook, Jerusalem, 1971.
Rabbi Zalman Natan Kiselgof was one of the last rabbis in Russia during the trying period of the Communist rule. He was born to a Chassidic family in Novo-Vitebsk, in the Kherson region. He dedicated his entire life to the study of Torah and served as Chief Rabbi of the Great Synagogue in Moscow. These writings were smuggled in several stages from Russia to Israel and printed in Jerusalem, with approbations and introductions by Rabbi Unterman, Rabbi Abramsky and Rabbi Zevin, who stand in awe of the author's solitary diligence in Torah study, alone and secluded, yet he wrote novellae and homiletics on the level of the greatest Torah scholars of his times.
Dozens of leaves, dry paper. Size and condition vary.
