Letter of Approbation by Rabbi Moshe Feinstein - 1976
Letter of approbation for a book (7 lines), handwritten and signed by R. Moshe Feinstein. New York, Marcheshvan 1976.
Approbation for the book Mekor HaBracha - laws of blessings, authored by R. Gavriel Krausz, head of the Manchester Beit Din. In his approbation, R. Moshe Feinstein writes: "Since the book contains practical halachic rulings, and I am not able to study each topic individually, it cannot be considered as if I myself am also issuing these rulings, but I can say that he is a great man, who is well-versed in the laws of blessings, and his words should be given due regard". At the end of the letter, R. Moshe blesses: "And may G-d grant him success in Torah and in all areas, and may G-d’s name be sanctified through him".
R. Moshe Feinstein (1895-1986), foremost halachic authority in the United States, a leader of Orthodox Jewry and chairman of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah. He was the dean of the Tiferet Yerushalayim yeshiva in New York. He authored: Responsa Igrot Moshe, Dibrot Moshe - Talmudic novellae and Darash Moshe - novellae on the Torah.
[1] leaf. Official stationery. 28 cm. Good condition. Folding marks.
The letter of approbation was printed in the book Mekor HaBracha (London, 1977). The second edition of the book, which was printed in 1986 after the passing of R. Moshe Feinstein, contains a eulogy in his memory.
