Letter from Rabbi Yisroel Yosef Hager from Otynia to his friend Rabbi Yosef of Tzfat, about the subject of delivery and support from Tchernovitz which has not been carried out due to restrictions imposed in Romania. He noted his great pain about this. “כי ידעתי עד כמה מה מיחלים על התמיכה […] הזאת”.
The Great Rabbi continues his efforts to organize the shipment “וכ”ז עולה בדמים מרובים. וצריכים עזר ד’ שיבא לידם”.
He specifies the effort to obtain travel permits to Tchernovits and to find with G-Ds help a secure way to send the shipment. At the end of the letter the Rabbi wishes “ד’ ירחם על פליטת עמו ישראל כי כשל כח הסבל. ידידו המצפה לתשועת ד’ במהרה” .
