Three Letters by the Admor the Imrei Emet of Gur to his Son-In-Law
Handwritten letters by the Admor of Gur, Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter, to his son-in-law Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter. [c. 1930].
The letters refer to Kvitlach, monetary and Tzedakah matters and his brother Rabbi Nechmia. The three letters are written in his holy handwriting, however they are unsigned.
The Admor Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter (1866-1848), son of the Sfat Emet, was a holy Ga’on. Established the Agudat Yisrael organization and was rabbi of tens of thousands of Gur Hassidim in Poland. The majority of his Hassidim as well as dozens of his descendants perished during the years of the Holocaust, however, the Admor miraculously survived and immigrated to Jerusalem, where he reestablished the Gur dynasty and Yeshivot. His remaining sons are the Admorim: the Beit Yisrael, the Lev Simcha and the Pnei Menachem.
His son-in-law, recipient of the letters, Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter [son of his brother Rabbi Moshe Bezalel] was killed in the Holocaust.
3 letters, various sizes. Good condition.
