"Copy of an extract of holy letters by the holy Geonim … for supporting the Mitzvah of settling the Holy Land" – Broadside with a collection of calls of Gedolei Yisroel, Chassidim and Misnagdim, to support the poor of Eretz Yisroel.
Polemic against the Shadarim of the yeshivas of the Holy land and abroad – a broadside with a copy of the call of the holy Rav Rabbi Mordechai of Neshchiz, the Chozeh of Lublin, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, Rabbi Aryeh Leib Katznelboigen of Brisk, Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, not to transfer the funds donated to Kupas Rabbi Meir Ba’al Hanes to other charity funds.
[1] leaf, 34 cm.
Historical background: After Rabbi Yaakov Shimshon of Shipitkova immigrated to Eretz Yisroel in 1794, he saw the dire situation of the Polish immigrants and worked to raise funds for the establishment of Kollel Polin. Subsequently, Rabbi Mordechai of Neshchiz published a call to support the poor of Eretz Yisroel, with a blessing for the donors. Together, Rabbi Yaakov Shimshon and Rabbi Mordechai called "not to transfer the funds for Eretz Yisroel to any other charity fund in the world". This call for the support of the Polish immigrants was joined by additional Admorim, including the Chozeh of Lublin and Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev. To this broadside, similar calls were added by Rabbi Aryeh Leib Katznelboigen Av Beis Din of Brisk, Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin and Rabbi Akiva Eiger. As appearing at the end of this broadside, the call were republished to encourage the public to continue donating to the poor of Eretz Yisroel and to reject the Shadarim of the yeshivas: "Surely their holy words will bear fruit now too, to fight against the Shadarim of the yeshivas of Eretz Yisroel and abroad such as the Lomzha Yeshiva and the like which have crossed the line of the immigrants to our country".
Fold marks, gluing, tears to the edges of the leaf, fair condition.
