"Blessings with wealth and honor" an important letter with the signature of the greats of Lita! The Netziv, Rabbi Shmuel Mohliber, Rabbi Mordechai Eliashberg

The Netziv (1816–1893) was one of the greatest rabbinical figures of his era. He was the son in Law of R. Yitzchok of Volozhin whom he succeeded as Rosh Yeshiva of the Volozhin Yeshiva. Author of several classic works of rabbinic literature, including Ha’meck Dovor, Meishiv Dovor, Meroimei Sadeh and a comprehensive commentary on the Sheiltos.

R. Shmuel Mohilever (1824-1898), learned in the Volozhin Yeshiva and served as Rav in Bialystok. Known as a great Talmid Chochom, he was one of the early and most influential rabbinical leaders of the nascent Chovevei Tzion movement.

RABBI MORDECHAI ELIASBERG, Russian rabbi; born in Chaikishok, government of Grodno, Feb., 1817; died in Bausk, Courland, Dec. 11, 1889. In 1852 he became rabbi of Zezmer, government of Wilna, and remained there for six years, until his wife's illness forced him to return to Kovno. About 1861 he became rabbi of Bausk, where he officiated until his death, having declined the more important rabbinate of Suwalki, which had been offered to him in 1876.

When the Zionist movement began to spread in Russia, Eliasberg became one of its most ardent advocates. He gave his decision, as a rabbinical authority, permitting the colonists in Palestine to sow their fields in "shemiṭṭah" (fallow year), which gave rise to a heated controversy with the rabbis of Palestine and other opponents of colonization. Eliasberg's part in the discussion was conducted with mildness and broad-mindedness.

Of the twenty-four works which Eliasberg wrote on various subjects, only one, "Terumat Yad, " a collection of responsa, was published during his lifetime (Wilna, 1875). His "Shebil ha-Zahab, " which was published posthumously (Warsaw, 1897), deals, with questions of the day in a highly interesting manner, giving the truly Orthodox view on many important subjects.
