Long letter all written by the hold hands of The Great Rabbi YItzchok Zelig Morgenstern of Solkolov–Kotzk one of the leaders of the Jews in Poland, calling the observant Chareidi Jews of Israel, to leave the National Council.

The National Council was the body which ran the Jewish Agency of Israel and head of Zionism Jewish life in Eretz Yisrael –Palastine in the days of the Mandate, In all relevant fields: housing, immigration, education, and more. Agudat Yisrael and the Chareidi community opposed decisively for recognition and membership in the National Council, and after a long struggle they succeeded to bring about a decision that all men and women may notify about their leaving the National Council.

In this rare letter, The Admo”r of Solkolov conveys the position of the World Agudat Yisrael against members of the National Council and quieted the criticism by, supposedly making the ‘leaving’ a rift of hearts between the orthodox and particularly between the Jews in general.
