Volozhin: 12th Teveth
This lengthy, multi-part letter contains: A lengthy discussion concerning the financial claims a woman has on an estate, and blessing all those who would assist in solving this problem; a Halachic debate found in the Sha’agas Aryeh; sending regard to the Rabbi’s daughter-in-law; an addenda in Yiddish from two others. The Netziv was Rosh Yeshiva of Volozhin, the foremost Talmudic Academy in 19th-century Russia. He was succeeded in that position by his brilliant son-in-law, Rabbi Raphael Shapiro (1837–1921).
