"And we must learn from the Holy One, Blessed be He, who has mercy on the property of Israel" – A fascinating letter from Rabbi Yitzchak Dov Koppelman of Lucerne
Letter of significant content by the builder of Torah in Europe, the gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Dov Koppelman, Rosh Yeshiva of Lucerne, Switzerland, and foremost disciple of Rabbi Shimon Shkop. Lucerne, Nissan 5726 [1966].
The letter is addressed to one of Rabbi Koppelman’s friends, who had sent him a valuable gift engraved with the rabbi’s name. Rabbi Koppelman expresses gratitude for the gift, but—mentioning his strained financial situation at the time—writes that were it not for the fact that the item bore his engraved name, he would have returned it to the sender:
“We must learn from the Holy One, Blessed be He, who has mercy on the property of Israel.”
Rabbi Koppelman was known for his blessings and stories of salvation attributed to him, and in this letter he writes:
“I therefore bless you with all manner of blessings and success in every matter, both material and spiritual… And as in the days of our going forth from the land of Egypt, may Hashem show us wonders… Yitzchak Dov Koppelman.”
[1] leaf of paper, 21×15 cm. Fine, thin-quality paper.
Very good–good condition. Repaired tear in the lower white margin.
Rabbi Yitzchak Dov Koppelman [1906–2011], was a leading student of the gaon Rabbi Shimon Shkop. He was the only student Rabbi Shkop personally chose to accompany him to the funeral of the Chafetz Chaim in Radin. He was also among the few present at Rabbi Shkop’s deathbed in Grodno. At the outbreak of the war, Rabbi Koppelman took his teacher’s writings from his home; the Soviets tried unsuccessfully to seize them. These manuscripts were later published in Chiddushei Rabbi Shimon Yehuda HaKohen.
Founder of Torah in Europe: In 1964, Rabbi Koppelman became Rosh Yeshiva of the Lucerne Yeshiva in Switzerland. Under his leadership, the yeshiva grew to over two hundred students and transformed the Swiss Charedi community’s attitude toward Torah education—instilling a deep dedication to Torah study. The Lucerne Yeshiva became one of the most prominent in Europe, attracting students from across Europe, America, and Israel.
