I just cataloged a nice collection of 41 telegrams sent to Rabbi Shlomo Aharon Kazarnovsky, one of the Most famous Shluchim of old, very close to the former and last Rebbes of Lubavitch.
Many of the telegrams came from famous shulchim throughout America and other notables.
The telegrams were sent on the engagement of his son, Rabbi Moshe Kazarnovsky, in 1949.
Below are some of the names the telegrams came from:
RABBI MENDEL SCHNEERSOHN
REBBETZIN CHANA SCHNEERSOHN
RABBI AND MRS Z SCHNEERSOHN
RABBI AND MRS SOLOMON HECHT-CHICAGO
RABBI BAUMGARTEN-KANSAS CITY
RABBI AXELROD-BALTIMORE
MIZRACHI WOMEN OF BORO PARK
RABBI A. POOCK, PRINCIPAL OF BETH RIVKA SCHOOLS
RABBI CUNIN
RABBI SHOLOM RIVKIN- ST LOUIS
DINAH SCHNEERSOHN
RABBI SHUSTERMAN-CHICAGO
PINCHOS ZLATA ALTHAUZ-TEL AVIV
YETTA AND MOE KESTENBAUM
RABBI SHOLOM GORDON-NEWARK
LADYS (SIC) AUXILIARY YESHIVA OHEL MOSHE
RABBI AND MRS ABRAHAM HECHT 25
An interesting look in to the early days of Chabad in America.
Where did you get these from? Would you be willing to sell them?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your interest, they have long since sold
DeleteVery interesting. I have the bulk of my great grandfathers archives and it’s strange how this was separated and further being sold...??
ReplyDeleteI apologize, I only read your description.. these were probably all sent to Moshe Kazarnovsky (the son of Shlomo Aharon) and not to S.A.K...
DeleteIt has been 8 years, unfortunately I have no recollection of how and where it was obtained, most likely alongside a book collection or within a book we purchased
