Letter of Rabbi Aharon Kotler for the Torah students of his yeshiva - 1934

The letter is written in a scribe's handwriting, with the signature of Rabbi Aharon's holy hand, and on the margins of the letter is his seal and the yeshiva's seal.

In this letter, Rabbi Kotler calls to participate in a fundraiser for the yeshiva he leads, a yeshiva which is "one of the larger and more important Torah centers", and is now "dominated by a situation of danger to souls".

The messenger of the yeshiva who was sent to prepare the fundraising is R. Asher Lifshitz from Branowitz, as mentioned in the letter.

The letter, dated the 20th of Sivan 1934, is written on an official page of the 'Etz Haim' yeshiva "which was moved to Kletsk".

The letter is written in a scribe's handwriting, with the signature of Rabbi Aharon's holy hand, and on the margins of the letter is his seal and the yeshiva's seal.

The Gaon Rabbi Aharon Kotler (1892- 1963) was the head of the Kletsk Yeshiva in Poland, and later the founder and head of the Lakewood Yeshiva in the United States, the president of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah in the United States and one of the leaders of ultra-Orthodox Judaism there.
