ממש חוב קדוש על כל אלה שינקו את מקור חייהם הרוחני בישיבתנו וששתו לרויה את מימיה, וביחוד אלה שהישיבה עשתה עבור הצלתם מהשואה האיומה. ( It is a grave and holy obligation to all those who thrive from the source of their spiritual lives in our Yeshivot and drink from her waters, especially those that the Yeshiva did for their rescue of the terrible Holocaust.)

In the letter, he relates that his son the Gaon Rabbi Moshe Finkel, is currently in the United States and he pleas to them to assist him in this emergency appeal.
