SCHNEERSON, SHOLOM BER

v.p.

v.d.

I: Autograph note, unsigned and undated in Hebrew, in the hand of the RaSHa”B to R. Havlin regarding the supervision of the students of the Yeshiva, suggesting that the lower level students need individual attention. II: Autograph Letter, signed in Hebrew on headed paper, in the hand of RaYa”Tz to R. Saadia (Baliter) of Horoditch and the townspeople encouraging them to support the Yeshiva and invite the students for Sabbath meals. 15th Kislev, 1906. Of interest, the stationary does not mention the “yeshiva.” S. Z. Havlin suggests that this was done to conceal the Yeshiva’s activities from officialdom. See: S. Z. Havlin, Ha’Mashpia (1982) p.22. III: Autograph note, signed in Hebrew by R. Saadia Baliter of Horodetz, ordaining Rabbi Havlin, dated 1901
