Autograph Letter Hand-Signed by S. Y. Agnon – Greetings for the Marriage of Eliezer Meir Lifshitz – Jerusalem, 1934
An autograph letter, hand-signed by S.Y. Agnon, to Eliezer Meir Lifshitz, Jerusalem, [1934].
A letter on the occasion of the marriage of Eliezer Meir Lifshitz with Theresa Dreyfus-Cohen: "[…] for many years I did not experience such joy as when I heard that you got married – congratulations for good and long days – with Miss Theresa Dreyfus-Cohen. Grapes with grapes…I believe that all those who love you and all your friends are happy for you […] your friend who loves you with all his heart, S.Y. Agnon". (Hebrew).
Eliezer Meir Lifshitz (1879-1946), rabbi, educator, Hebraist, one of Mizrahi movement leaders in Palestine, was a close friend of S. Y. Agnon. In 1926 he published an essay about Agnon and his works in the periodical "Hashiloah" (the essay, in its expanded version was published in the same year in Berlin, by Moshe Shimshon Marx). Lifshitz's wife, Theresa Dreyfus-Cohen, was a relative of Esther Agnon.
