Letter in handwriting of Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Halperin - to the Admor of Stropkov, Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga Lifshitz-Halberstam.
Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Halperin (1871-1961) was a Hassidic rabbi in the United States, and after his immigration to Israel he founded the National Center for Family Purification. In the 1950s he founded the National Center for Family Purification, in order to establish mikvehs in the communities of Israel and to spread the importance of the subject of family purity. He turned to Rabbi Dov Berish Weidenfeld of Tashbbin to serve as the organization's president. Later he was served as President by Yechezkel Abramsky and Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach. The Chazon Ish very much supported the organization and recommended in a letter to the philanthropists to donate to Rabbi Halperin, who "has faith in building mikvehs in our Holy Land."

Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga Lifshitz-Halberstam - the Admor of Stropkov (1905-1995), son of his daughter and disciple of Rebbe Shalom Halberstam of Stropkov. Served abroad as Av Beit Din Yablonka and Dayan in Burgas. After the hardships of the Holocaust he served as rabbi in the DP camps in Bomberg and in the Galilot Franconia. In 1949, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Ramle, where he established the "Divrei Chaim" Beit Midrash.
