Description		    Letter by the Admor of Novominsk R. Nahum Mordecai Perlow (1897-1976). He was the son of R. Alter Israel Shimon and was born in Minsk Mazowiesk. The Rebbe was ordained by R. Eliezer Shalom of Parczev and R. Samuelof Wengrov. In 1916, he married Beila Rehuma (d. 1987), the daughter of R. Yitzhak Zelig Morgenstern of Sokolov. He visited the Holy Land in 1925. In 1927 he emigrated to the United States, settling first in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn, later moving to Crown Heights, and for the last six years of his life living in Borough Park, Brooklyn.

He was a member of the Mo'etzet Gedolei HaTorah and was active in the Hinukh Atz­mai and the Russian immigrant rescue fund. He was a member of the presidium of the Agudah. He edited his grandfather's work Shufrah D'Yaakov (Jerusalem, 1964) and published his father's work Tiferet Ish on Festivals (Jerusalem, 1969). He gained ever increasing recognition in the United States in hasidic as well as in Torah circles due to his scholarship and the active role he played in communal affairs. He was widely ac­claimed for his diligence in Torah study. Most of his discourses have not as yet been published.
