Letter from Rabbi Yitzchak Kossovsky - Shachor, Av Beit Din Wołkowysk
Letter written and signed by Rabbi Yitzchak Kossovsky-Shachor, dated Bereishit 1938. Addressed to Rabbi HaRay"tz HaLevi Av Beit Din Tel Aviv.
Interesting response regarding the proper manner to write names in a divorce. Posits that the letters should correspond to the way the name is expressed and not according to the rules of proper writing if it affects the sound that the letters make.
Rabbi Yitzchak Kossovsky-Shachor [1887-1951] was a Lithuanian Torah genius, a scion of the Telshe Yeshiva and son-in-law of Rabbi Dovid Shlomo Grodzinski, Av Beit Din Iye, Lithuania (father of Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski of Vilna). After the death of his father-in-law, he took over his position as rabbi of Iye. He later served as rabbi of Mariupol, Russia. In 1922, he moved to Augustów, and in 1925 began serving in the rabbinate in Wołkowysk. In 1934, he moved to South Africa where he served as rabbi of the Union of Orthodox Synagogues of Johannesburg and the area.
