 Signed by Rabbi Rafael Shapira, Rosh Yeshiva of Volozhin


Rabbi Rafael Shapira, Rosh Yeshiva of Volozhin (1837-1921), son of Rabbi Aryeh Leib, Rabbi of Kovna and son-in-law of the Natziv of Volozhin was renowned for his genius and diligence. From 1865-1881, he served as Rosh Yeshiva of the Volozhin Yeshiva together with his father-in-law, the Natziv. He served as rabbi of Bobroisk and other cities. In 1899, after the yeshiva was re-established, he returned to Volozhin and was appointed Av Beit Din and Rosh Yeshiva. During World War I, he exiled to Minsk where he taught Torah until his death. Rabbi Chaim HaLevi Soloveitchik, Rabbi of Brisk, author of Chidushei Rabbeinu Chaim HaLevi was his son in law.
