Description

Rare Letter of Approbation Handwritten and Signed by Head of Yeshiva Rabbi Avraham Yaffen, 1969.
Rabbi Yaffen notes in the letter before us:
"It is not customary for me to be among the approbators, yet due to my friendship … I willingly give my approbation".
"אין דרכי להיות מן המסכימים, אבל מרוב ידידותי למע"כ מאז הנני נותן הסכמתי בנפש חפצה".
R' Avrohom Yoffen
(1886-1970), learned in the Yeshivos of Slutzk and Kobrin as well as under R' Zalman Sender Kahana-Shapiro. He later went on to learn under the Alter of Novardok and eventually married his youngest daughter. Upon the passing of the Alter in 1919, he headed the network of Novardok Yeshivos. In 1941, he escaped Europe via Japan, and reestablished Yeshivas Bais Yosef in New York. In 1962 he immigrated to Eretz Yisroel, where he headed the surviving Novardok Talmidim until his passing.
