  • Item Letter from Ch. O. Grodzienski in Wilno

    Rabin Ch. O. Grodzienski WILNO Poland Regno. Gaon Yisrael Shlit”a! Please forgive me for the delay in my response. Regarding the Torah Fund: I must tell the esteemed Rabbi Shlit”a that primarily I understood that my opinion is that the concentration is not correct, but I agreed at the time to the concentration of the Sephardim. The propaganda here for the concentration was that the Mizrachim wanted to acquire influence for themselves, therefore I agreed at that time to the concentration, but now my opinion is, and I have revealed it at the Torah Fund conference here, that it is time to abolish the concentration because now if we abolish it, we can be sure that it will not rise again, but they have insisted on me. My colleagues are waiting for 6 more moments. And since at first I did not want to participate in the work and in the committee, therefore the complaint is not on me, but I spoke with Perl and the young one and complained that he did not provide the esteemed Rabbi Shlit”a with the amount, and he replied to me that as he was told: 19 we have already sent 200 francs. Regarding the deception, Moch and Weiss really said to us due to the days of freedom, the committee meeting, but I hope that it will be accepted at our expense to prepare us, and on the condition if 863 the management will approve. After it has been there for some time because it is diabetic and since according to the letters I received for her. I hope she is qualified and certainly will fulfill her position and work for the Haredi Judaism. And I am here bowing before the glory of his greatness.

  • Item Letter Addressing Rabbi Kook and Young People in Jerusalem ט"ז תמוז התרצ"ג (1938-07-15)

    In the name of God, 16th of Tammuz, 5783 Priceerheen ** Dear Sir: The exalted and elevated one, may he live long! I have received your esteemed letter, and here I am to fulfill my duty regarding the matter of our friend: the youth in Jerusalem. And it is a great light and a wonderful resident for me to find that the debt has been burdened upon me if he writes to the management of "Etz Chaim": Novokov. For the evil greatly condemns the attack upon him, indeed "my hands are most active in this matter, even as a murderer." I am convinced that after all this, they will cease the support from the youth of the association; thus, only this will come out of it. Let it be sent to "Rabbi Kook" to show with his finger his authority, and he should leave the scarves to the deceased, and according to this, he could withdraw his hand entirely and return the admonition of his morals to the youth in the Land of Israel or, more correctly, to not recognize the young man who is preventing the general heights of the association, and then these youths will know that either they have been misled or that the Israeli association has only wasted its efforts to respect its feelings, and then they will know to retreat and make way for the moderate youths. Rabbi Tzvi Pesach and Rabbi Sankevich will come and strengthen the association that will find favor and grace among all the residents of the Land of Israel. .. Believe me, dear sir, that I too oppose the idea of a personal attack against Kook, for I would oppose any shadow of insult against him, except to fight for his language (meaning if to move and to call by name). And even ten years ago, I acted in the Land of Israel to be very careful not to make Kook a "holy" victim and oppressed for his opinions, but we must also expand the sorrow of the youth in Jerusalem (even though in the East they do not scrutinize so much in times of emergency of dispute, especially between the Hasidim to be cautious! It will be whoever it will be) for what, for example, will they be able to answer their sons when the deceptive light of the nationalists also sends them its lines when they will ask and point to this "the man of God"? And as was written by the organization of Rabbi Kook when he traveled to America, it was said in large letters in the name "And it came to pass when the Ark was set forward." And if he says that the KKL is the Holy of Holies, the university will come forth from Zion, the Torah will emerge, the Maccabi raises the saying higher and higher in service and praises, saying, and may it be said, will things work on their hearts? For they will see and take for themselves the example of the heads of the rabbis? Therefore, only necessity brought them to condemn Rabbi Kook so that they could protect their sons from his path. Nuno Dr. Greenberg, I hereby accept responsibility for everything I have written, and I will also allow myself to write a response to the editorial note in the hope that my important letter was printed. There is no contradiction that it was the proof that on one hand he took from the love against the ICA and on the other hand he is working for the Zionist funds.

  • Item Correspondence from J. M. Lewin, Warsaw, 1936 c. תרצ"ו (1935–1936)

    In the name of Heaven, Tishrei 5696 (1935) To Mr. J. M. Lewin Marianska 2 Warsaw Dear esteemed friend, the honorable and respected Mr. Lewin, Your letter has reached me, and I am writing to inform you about the situation regarding Mr. Rosenheim. Mr. D. mentioned that Rabbi Dr. Lewinstein recorded the names of three trustworthy individuals who are familiar with the situation. In Germany, the situation is very serious, and they are Mr. Hallander, Nosbaum, and Lilienfeld. It is necessary to send them something important, and he wishes to communicate with them as soon as possible. They will find a way to Switzerland, but not to Germany, as he does not wish to set foot on its soil. Mr. Hallander was in Strasbourg and the rabbi traveled to him. Mr. H. provided various excuses that Mr. R. does not know how the trade is at the edge, and advice but not even a single penny. Therefore, Rabbi Lewin said that if it is impossible to negotiate such amounts, there is no more to discuss. Regarding the general situation, I sent my concerns today from the central office to Rabbi Dr. Lewinstein, because under such conditions, individuals are being expelled who have no part in any leadership of the association, as they are simple members. The committee has violated a tactic that disturbed Rabbi Kook during the eulogy for the esteemed Rabbi Chafetz Chaim, may his memory be blessed, and I took it upon myself. If individuals who have no blemish have a part in the leadership, then certainly I, who am involved in the leadership, have the obligation to be removed from the association, because the Jewish community is becoming responsible and accountable for all the private actions of its members, and as a member with significant influence, I judge myself on this matter. After all, as long as I stood only on my own two feet, the work was not difficult for me to recover, and Mr. Rosenheim's mother did not demand that I receive from him in confrontation and urgency as at the time regarding the "Shomrei Shvach," where no one asked him to be responsible and accountable for anything, and also to remove me from the association's funds, I believe he will not be able to do so, because I will take it upon myself to leave. It is a disgrace that in Germany, individuals who eat at non-Jewish tables can be members of the World Association, while those who disturbed Rabbi Kook during his eulogy cannot even be simple members. Every word and every letter from the left makes a strong impression on the leadership of Agudat Yisrael. And all the strength of the Mizrachi is to take revenge on the right. I await your response today regarding the matter.
