Affectionately known as “Reb Moishe,” Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (1895-1985), Rosh Yeshiva for many decades of Tifereth Jerusalem of New York’s Lower East Side, was universally acknowledged as the halachic decisor par-excellence of the post-Holocaust generation. The recipient of these two volumes, Naphtali Hertz Kantrowitz, was a Rabbi in Mexico, whose father, R. Ya’akov Kantrowitz (Mahri”k, 1873-1946), was R. Moishe’s uncle.
