”Radin 24th Elul, 1932

As the year comes to an end, I hereby extend my blessings to your honor that the Almighty should renew his kindness upon him in the coming year for good, blessing, and great success in all matters. May Hashem assist him in strengthening his commitment to charitable deeds and kindness and enable him to support three hundred and fifty students of the Yeshiva, individuals of great Torah knowledge and fear of Heaven, who endure severe distress and tremendous pressure day and night for the sake of Torah study."

In the days of mercy and favor, during the awe-inspiring High Holy Days, may your honor awaken gracious and Torah-loving individuals to participate in the support of our holy Yeshiva, which is currently in a dire and extremely difficult situation.

Especially, I request your esteemed and distinguished son, the diligent Torah scholar, Rabbi Yosef Segal, who had the privilege of contributing to the strengthening of our holy Yeshiva last year, to once again come to our aid today. I implore him to rouse his acquaintances and supporters to assist our sacred Yeshiva in its severe and pressing circumstances.

And may the merit of Torah stand for your honor and his som, to be remembered for good and blessed in the presence of the Lord all the days of remembrance. May he be written & signed for a year of life, peace, and all good, and may we merit a year of redemption and salvation, and the uplifting of the Torah’s banner swiftly.

In the honor of your esteemed souls, may it be as esteemed and honored as you deserve."

Rabbi Yisrael Meir Hakohein Kagan (1839-1933), universally renowned as the Chafetz Chaim after his famous sefer, was one of the last of the Achronim. He was “Rabban shel Yisrael” in every sense of the word. He was regarded as most brilliant, humble and pious among the Achronim, and there are few sages whose legacy impacts the contemporary Torah world as the Chafetz Chaim. His landmark sefarim, including Mishnah Brurah, Chafetz Chaim and Shemiras Halashon are studied universally by young and old, men, women and children alike.

The recipient the Gaon Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak HaLevi Segal (1881-1947), a disciple of the Alter of Novardok. A founder of the Etz Chaim yeshiva in London, he also established the Manchester yeshiva, which he headed for some 35 years.

Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak was an outstanding Torah scholar and an exalted Tzaddik. He devoted himself to disseminating Torah, and many of the rabbis of that time were his disciples (including Rabbi Shaul Wagschal of Gateshead, Rabbi Shmuel Alexander Unsdorfer, and others). Hegyonei Moharsha (p. 18, see enclosed copy) brings the wondrous testimony of two of his disciples, whose deceased father appeared to R. Moshe Yitzchak in a dream, requesting that he carefully supervise his orphaned sons. R. Moshe Yitzchak related the dream to them and asked them not to publicize it.

His son and successor as dean of the yeshiva was Rabbi Yehuda Ze\'ev Segal (1911-1993), a holy Tzaddik and wonder-worker, who was very active in raising the awareness of the importance of guarding one\'s speech, and was known as the Chafetz Chaim of England)
