Arbitration Document about One of the Most Bitter Disputes in Jerusalem - the Controversy of the Legendary "Etz Chaim" Yeshivah, Signed by the Rabbi of Radishkowitz. Historic Document
Arbitration agreement before Rabbi Shmuel Salant; Rabbi Meir Auerbach, Av Beit Din of Kalish, author of Imrei Binah; and Rabbi Moshe Nechemiah Kahanov. Regarding the affair of the terrible dispute which broke out in Jerusalem opposing the rabbi of Radishkowitz, Rabbi Shaul Binyamin HaKohen. Signed by litigants: Rabbi Shaul Binyamin HaKohen of Radishkowitz, Rabbi Yehudah Leib Ya'avetz, Rabbi Yitzchak Ya'akov Sofer Chaslawitzer and Rabbi Aryeh Leib HaKohen. Jerusalem, 1865.
We will briefly note the background to the dispute, as written by Rabbi Rephael Katzenelbogen, in his book Be'er Re'i - Toldot HaChinuch HaMekori B'Meshech HaDorot (Ch. 38): Rabbi Shmuel Binyamin HaKohen, rabbi in Radishkowitz, ascended to Jerusalem in 1857. When he arrived, he gathered a group of young men and began to study with them in Churvat R' Yehudah HeChassid. He quickly became one of the administrators of the Churvah, and one of the managers of the Etz Chaim yeshivah. He had also been appointed an emissary and raised a lot of funds for the institutions. At the same time, he arranged the study at the Etz Chaim yeshivah, class division, etc. This had not been done until then, and was considered an "innovation" and change from the tradition. Rabbi Shaul Binyamin also registered the yeshivah's property in his name, which aroused the suspicions of the veteran principals and became the trigger for the outbreak of the fierce controversy. The dispute was also conducted in the newspapers, and tradition relates that booklets were also published for and against, signed by the rabbinic leaders of Jerusalem. In the arbitration agreement before us, the sides accept upon themselves to be judged before the rabbis of Jerusalem: Rabbi Shmuel Salant, Rabbi Meir Auerbach, and Rabbi Moshe Nechemiah Kahanov, and to accept their ruling. This document sheds light on, and reveals many details about, one of the harshest disputes in Jerusalem, the dispute about the oldest Chareidi institution in Jerusalem, and apparently in all of the Land of Israel.
