"Kesubah of Eirchasa" edited by Rabbi Yechiel Shraga Lifshitz-Halberstam, with a handwritten letter by him and his signature.

This is a printed Kesubah (marriage contract) created to replace one that had been lost. On the back of the Kesubah are several lines handwritten by the late Rabbi Yechiel Shraga Lifshitz-Halberstam of Strupkov, who had arranged the original Kesubah. In addition, a letter confirming the validity of the Kesubah, handwritten and signed by the Rabbi, is included.

Rabbi Yechiel Shraga Lifshitz-Halberstam (1908–1995), was the son-in-law and disciple of Rabbi Shalom Halberstam of Strupkov. He served as the Rabbi of Yablonka and as a Dayan in Bergsass before the Holocaust. After surviving the war, he worked in the displaced persons camps in Bamberge and the Franconian region. In 1949, he immigrated to Israel and settled in Ramla, where he established the "D’var Chaim" synagogue. In 1953, he moved to Jerusalem and founded the Strupkov Hasidic communities in the city.

This is a unique and historically significant document, shedding light on the life and leadership of one of the prominent Hasidic Rebbes of the 20th century, who rebuilt Torah life after the Holocaust, both in Europe and later in Israel.
