Halachic Responsum Handwritten and Signed by the Chazon Ish 1951
[1] postcard, 10×15 cm.
Rabbi Kalman Kahane, a close associate of the Chazon Ish’s, was in the United States. A young couple turned to him there; the wife was halachically unable to bear children. Rabbi Kalman Kahane sent their inquiry to the Chazon Ish in Bnei Brak, and pointed out that there is no one in the United States who can be asked such a fundamental question, and he requested that the Chazon Ish write his answer and send it to the US. From the responsum, the Chazon Ish’s tremendous knowledge of medical matters is evident.
Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz [1879-1953] known by the name of his book, Chazon Ish , was a gaon and righteous person, expert in all secrets of the Torah. He was an example for all generations as one who ‘toils in Torah.’ He was among the leaders of the chareidi community in the Land of Israel, among those who charted its path after the establishment of the state, reconstructing the Torah world after the Holocaust.
Very fine condition.
