On Wednesday, the 19th of the month of Adar Rishon 1946. The invitation was sent by post to the Chazon Ish by the bride's father, Rabbi Yitzchak Weinstein, who wrote on the reverse side of the leaf: "In honor of Rabbi the Chazon Ish - Bnei Brak". The groom is Rabbi Yosef Dov (R' Yoshe Ber) HaLevi Soloveitchik (1916-1981), head of the Brisk Yeshiva who arrived in Jerusalem during the Holocaust together with his father the Brisker Rav Rabbi Yitzchak Ze'ev [who succeeded in escaping the Holocaust together with some of his sons and daughters while his wife and some of his children remained in Brisk and were murdered in the Holocaust]. He assisted his father in establishing the Brisk Yeshiva in Jerusalem, and eventually stood at its helm and became one of the most revered Torah giants of the previous generation. Leaf, 21 cm.
