Dinov Dynasty: Handwritten and Signed Letter from Rabbi Yisrael Shapira of Bluzhav
Handwritten, signed letter of friendship and blessing from Rabbi Yisrael Shapira of Bluzhov addressed to the legendary philanthropist Rabbi Yosef Pfeifer.
The Admor mentions that he was working on making peace, probably in the Agudas Yisrael, and mentions that the Admor of Buyan as well was taking care of the matter.
This undated letter is written on official stationary from the Gross Arlinton Hotel, Bethlehem, New Hampshire.
