Description

This letter is a response to Menacham Goldsmith regarding his opinions on a "Get" (Jewish writ of divorce) in Cleveland. The author, Israel Kalish?, refutes Goldsmith's arguments point by point, referencing the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds, and criticizing Goldsmith and others for their views. The letter also names other Rabbis involved in the discussion, including Rabbi Isaac Wise of Albany and Rabbi Samuel Landau. The tone is highly critical and polemical.
