summary
Rebbetzin Feiga Beila was the daughter of R. Yechezkel of Shiniva and a grand-daughter of R. Chaim of Sanz. Her husband was R. Menachem Mendel Halberstam of Frysztak.
The front of the postcard contains an Autograph Signed Note by her grandson R. David Aryeh Halberstam, the son of R. Chona Halberstam of Koloschitz who republished a Hagadah with the commentary Ashel Beramah by R. Abraham Lichtenstein. He requests that Rabbi Cohen please send him payment for the Hagadah as he is in dire need of funds. For more concerning R. David Aryeh Halberstam, especially his incarceration in Auschwitz, see the introduction by S.C. Wagschahl to the new edition of this Hagadah, New York, 1973
