Asher Abramson

Asher Abramson was active in Jewish communal life in Australia, where he was involved in founding and strengthening a yeshiva in Melbourne; the Rebbe wrote to him from the early 1950s. No reliable published biography is available; the summary below is drawn from the letters themselves.

Correspondence with the Rebbe

Several letters concern Torah education in Australia: founding a yeshiva in Melbourne and guidance on its name (IK 1205), and strengthening what was then the only yeshiva in Australia with full effort (IK 2310). The Rebbe wrote on esrogim in Australia (IK 1189), on printing an essay on practical mitzvos and how to write G-d's name (IK 1894), on the merit of each participant in a division of the Shas (IK 2133), and on teaching halachah and using every opportunity (IK 7362). Later letters deal with a bequest to a Torah institution in Eretz Yisrael and its naming (IK 7573), and the obligation to oppose a government-mandated "general religious and moral education" (IK 9144).
