The Admor, the Pnei Menachem of Gur's Marriage Certificate. Thrilling Document

[ translate ]

Official Edah Chareidit of Jerusalem marriage certificate for the wedding of Rabbi Pinchas Menachem Alter, who later became the Admo"r, the author of Pnei Menachem of Gur, to Rebbetzin Tziporah (also of the Alter family). Jerusalem, 1946.
Rabbi Pinchas Menachem Alter was the youngest child of his father, the Admo"r Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter of Gur, author of Imrei Emet. It is told that he promised his mother that he would escort him to the chuppah. The wedding took place when he was already old and sick.
In the place for his father's name and occupation,is written; כ"ק אדמו"ר שליט"א. One of the witnesses was Rabbi Yehoshua Noach Binkah, who was the gabbai of the author of Beit Yisrael of Gur's study hall.
Rabbi Pinchas Menachem Alter [1926-1996] was the Admo"r of Gur and the president of Agudat Yisrael's Council of Torah Sages. Before that, he served for many years as the rosh yeshivah of the Sefat Emet yeshivah, a member of Agudat Yisrael's Council of Torah Sages and chairman of Agudat Yisrael. He is known by the name of his book, as the author of Pnei Menachem. He lived simply, residing in an old three-room apartment his whole life. He would extend his prayers, which he accompanied with enthusiastic gestures. He is buried in the courtyard of the Sefat Emet yeshivah in the Machaneh Yehudah neighborhood of Jerusalem, next to the grave of his father, Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter, author of Sefat Emet.
Weddings of the generation's righteous, especially for second marriages, are lofty and holy matters. Before marrying his second wife, the gaon of Tchebin turned to the officiating rabbi and told him that before the rabbi of Ruzhin married his own second wife, he called the officiating rabbi into a room and spoke with him for a while, and when the officiating rabbi left the room, his face was white as a sheet. This story teaches us, the gaon of Tchebin continued, that weddings of rabbinic leaders are lofty matters, far beyond our comprehension.
