Official marriage certificate of R. Shaul Barzam and Yusfa Kanievsky, daughter of R. Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, the Steipler, and sister of R. Chaim Kanievsky. Signed by the Chief Rabbi of Petach Tikva, R. Reuven Katz. Petach Tikva, 13th Adar 1950. The form was filled out with a typewriter, with handwritten additions and signatures. The first name of the father of the bride, "Yaakov Yisrael", is handwritten by the Steipler himself (the handwriting is similar to that of his signatures on other documents from the same time period). The groom, R. Shaul Barzam (1926-1964), was a gifted Torah scholar, known for his precision in observance of the mitzvot. He was born in Holland, and arrived in Jerusalem after the Holocaust in 1945, where he studied in the Chevron Yeshiva. He developed a close relationship with the Chazon Ish, who, recognizing his brilliance and exceptional righteousness, suggested the match with his sister's daughter Yusfa, eldest daughter of his brother-in-law R. Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, the Steipler (1899-1985). R. Shaul passed away at a young age, leaving behind an esteemed family of Torah scholars. Many volumes of his Torah novellae have been published under the title "Zichron Shaul". Official printed document, filled out by typewriter and handwriting. 25.5 cm. Good condition. Minor damage to margins; repaired. Elaborate fabric binding, with window.
