A significant letter by R. Isser Zalman Meltzer, one of the most venerable of Roshei Yeshiva of Europe, <<anticipating that the United States was to become an important destination for the future development of Torah Judaism.>>
Rabbi Aaron Kotler (1892-1962), was married to the daughter of R. Isser Zalman Meltzer, and founded his own yeshivah in Kletzk, Poland, which after the war was reorganized in Lakewood, New Jersey. Rabbi Rosen had succeeded Rabbi Kotler’s father, R. Shneor Zalman Pines as Rabbi of Swislocz before moving to America.
