The identity card of the genius Rabbi Nissim Karlitz with a rare passport photo from his youth in Eretz Israel. with the rare hand signature of the genius from his youth.

IDENTITY CARD - The identity card of the Gaon from his younger years in Eretz Israel, was issued by the GOVERNMENT OF PALESTINE, and confirmed with an ink stamp stating that the Gaon Rabbi Nissim Karlitz is a legal citizen in Palestine, and another stamp of the city of Tel Aviv on the photograph.

Rabbi Shmarihu Yosef Nissim Karlitz (1926-2019), was born in Kosova, Belarus, to Rabbi Nachum Meir Karlitz and Batya, the sister of the Chazon Ish. At first he was called 'Shmaryahu Yosef', after his grandfather Rabbi Shmaryahu Yosef Karlitz, and after a miracle was performed to him, they added the name 'Nisim' to him, and as it appears on his identity card, both names start with the initials S. Y. Karlitz. Rabbi Nissim immigrated to Eretz Israel with his parents in 1936, after his parents realized that they would be obligated to send them to the Polish school. Upon immigrating to Eretz Israel, he studied at the Tiferet Zion yeshiva. He continued his studies at the Lomza yeshiva and for a short time after the opening of the Ponivez yeshiva in the synagogue "Haligman", moved to study there on the recommendation of his uncle Maran HaChazon Ish. The certificate before us is from this period of Rabbi Nissim in Eretz Israel.
Later, one of the greatest halachic judges of the generation, founder and head of Beit Din Tzedek in Bnei Brak (known as "Gaba'd" Beit Hadin), member of the Council of Torah Elders of Degel HaTorah, head of Chazon Ish and rabbi of the Ramat Aharon neighborhood.
