Collection of proclamations composed by Charedi Jerusalem circles, at the time of the establishment of the State of Israel: A call for peace with the Arabs, protest against the establishment of the State of Israel, etc.
Interesting varied collection. Among the proclamations: • Stalingrad – The Zionist leaders are planning to make Jerusalem into a second Stalingrad…", a proclamation for the time of a temporary truce during the Israel War of Independence, calling to "Announce peace and relinquish the State". • Another note, apparently from the same times, "We are for peace…". • "Sha'alu Shelom Yerushalayim" – call for announcing Jerusalem as a "Quiet City" (neutral), by the "Vaadat HaMatzav of the Edah HaCharedit". Proclamations regarding the recruitment of yeshiva students to the Haganah and to the IDF, including an "Open Response" – a proclamation with the truthful opinion of Rabbi Kook concerning the recruitment of yeshiva students [opposing the opinion of his son, Rabbi Zvi Yehuda]. • Petition form [with empty space for signatures] protesting the "Government of Heretics" and "their chutzpah to call the country by the name of the State of Israel…". Jerusalem, Elul 1948; etc.
