Autograph Letter Signed, in Hebrew, written to his brother R. Eliyahu David Rabinowitz-Teomim (Adereth), the Rabbi of Jerusalem, Mir and Ponovezh (1843-1905).

RABINOWITZ, MOSHE.

Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av

San Francisco

1898

Refers to the Spanish-American War, Torah and family matters.

The Adereth had a well-known twin brother R. Tzvi Yehudah, but little is known of this second brother, Moshe Rabinowitz, who apparently emigrated to America. Among other matters, the letter comments on the death of “the accursed Leah who will surely be brought before the Heavenly Court and confront our parents for falsely accusing our mother of poisoning her.”
