Recipient of the letter, a friend of Agnon Rabbi Eliezer Meir Lifshitz (1879-1946), a native of Stryi in Galicia, was a rabbi, educator, researcher of Judaism, and one of the leaders of the Mizrachi movement in Eretz Israel. Considered one of the founders and designers of education in the stream of modern Orthodoxy. After his marriage, his home became a home for writers, sages and Zionist activists, and he was inspired by their first steps in literature and science, most of them the from Galician - among them: SY Agnon, Asher Barash, E.I. Braver, Mordechai Ben Yechezkel J. Yalon and more. He studied in depth Agnon's work in its first and early period, and expected from him greatness in the field of writing from the beginning of his career as a writer. Rabbi Lifshitz even wrote an article about him in the "Shelach" under the title "S.Y. Agnon", which was published extensively as an essay in Berlin in 1926.
