Handwritten draft of an invitation to the marriage of the great Gaon Rabbi Raphael Soloveichik the son of Maran the Gaon 'The Rav of Brisk', which was sent to Maran the Griz of Brisk. Tel Aviv, 1957. 

On the back of the blessing letter for the New Year by the Gaon Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Mishkovski Rosh Yeshivas Kefar Chassidim which was sent to Rabbi Yissachar Dov Frankel of Tel Aviv, Rabbi Berl wrote a draft of an invitation to the wedding of his daughter the pious Rebbetzen Mrs. Chaya Sheindel with the renowned Gaon Rabbi Raphael Soloveichik the son of Maran the geat Gaon "The Rav of Brisk" and sent it to the great in-law Maran the Griz, to comment and lay his pure eyes on it. 

In the letter, the Gaon Rabbi Eliyahu Mishkovski Rosh Yeshivas Knesses Chizkiyahu in Kefar Chassidim blesses Rabbi Berl Frankel of Tel Aviv for the New Year and thanks him for his support and help to his holy yeshiva. 

The invitation contains important versions, for Maran the Griz to comment on. For example, the following version: החתן המופלג הרב ר' ברוך רפאל יהושע הלוי שליט"א בנו של הגה"ח רשכבה"ג מרן יצחק זאב הלוי שליט"א סאלאוויציק גאב"ד דבריסק. 
Another important example: the wedding took place in the Ruth Hall on Ben Yehuda St. in Tel Aviv; yet, the version reads 'Ben Yuda', probably so as not to mention Shem Shamayim in vain in the full name "Yehuda" but also maybe so as not to mention names of non-religious Jews in a wedding invitation. 

The Gaon Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Mishkovski (1917-1980) Rosh Yeshivas Knesses Chizkiyahu in Kefar Chassidim. Born to his father the Gaon Rabbi Chizkiyahu Yosef the son-in-law of theMussar Gaon Rabbi Itzileh Blaser of Petersburg author of the Pri Yitzchak. Studied with his rabbis the Gaon Rabbi Shimon Shkop an dthe Gaon Rabbi Baruch Dov Leibowitz. 

The honorable rabbinic Rabbi Berl Frankel, of the Sanz-Shinava chassidic dynasty in Krakow. Manged, alongisde his wife and their only daughter, to escape the horrors of the Holocaust. In Tel Aviv, was an important member of the community, Talmid Chacham, Bar Oriyan and Bar Avhan. Was appreciated by Gedolei Yisroel and was their confidante. He merited that the dear son of the the Gaon Rav of Brisk Rabbi Raphael married his only daughter.
