Letters from Shanghai – By Rabbi Shimon Kalish son of the Vorka Rebbe
Bundle of letters, by Rabbi "Shimon Kalish son of the Vorka Rebbe", and other letters concerning him by his sister "Yuta Tshepnik" and US community leaders. Shanghai, 1941-1946.
In letters written in 1941 after his arrival in Shanghai, the writer complains of the difficult situation and calls for help in attaining a US visa. In letters from 1946, he turns to Chassidim who were his father's disciples with words of inspiration. His words include Torah and Chassidic thoughts from "The Rebbe my brother Rabbi Chaim Simcha Bunim" of Warsaw [at that time he did not yet know that his brother perished in the Holocaust].
Rabbi Shimon Kalish, son of the Vorka Rebbe Avraham Moshe of Polaniec (see Item 307) and grandson of Rebbe Simcha Bunim of Otvosk. Student at the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva, exiled to Shanghai, later reached the US where he was active in Torah and Chassidism. In 1938, his brother Rabbi Simcha Bunim succeeded his father as Rebbe and was murdered in the Holocaust. His brother Rabbi Ya'akov David Baruch survived the Holocaust via Switzerland and served as Vorka Rebbe in the US and in Eretz Yisrael.
10 letters, approximately 17 pages. 7 letters are handwritten and signed by Rabbi "Shimon Kalish". Various sizes and conditions.
