Detailed
Description		    Letter by R. Yerahmiel Judah Meir Kalish (1901-1976), Admor of Amshinov. He was the son of R. Simon Shalom and was born in Przysucha. On his mother's side, he was a descendant of the "Holy Jew." During the Second World War, he escaped to Vilna, then to Shanghai, and, after the war, to New York. He then emigrated to Israel in 1958, and after living for some time in Holon, established a yeshiva, Shem Olam, in Jerusalem. He printed his father's works. His personal sufferings were masked by a smiling face and pleasant manner. He was buried on Har haMenuhot in Jerusalem.

The Rebbe states in the letter that he writes in Yiddish assuming correctly that it would arrive.
