The Chofetz Chaim, R. Israel Meir Kagan (1838-1933) is universally acclaimed as the preeminent Halachic decisor and “tzaddik” of the generation.
The Chofetz Chaim notes in the present letter that he hopes to move to Eretz Israel after Sukoth “to which I have been yearning all my life,” however, there is no possibility for the Yeshiva to relocate as well. Therefore the Yeshiva is to be administered by his grandchildren and R. Naphtoli Trop.
