Writings of Persecuted Rabbi Released for First Time

by Dovid Zaklikowski – Chabad.org

Rabbi Ezriel Chaikin reviews documents he smuggled out of the Soviet Union at the age of 14.

The writings and transcribed lectures of Rabbi Meir Chaim Chaikin, a Talmudic scholar who endured Soviet labor camps for three years as punishment for his clandestine efforts to strengthen Jewish life, have for the first time been published, released under the title Tiferes Ezriel in keeping with the author’s directive shortly before his 1966 passing.
