Letter written during the Nazi rule, by the management of No’ar Agudati (the Youth of Agudah) in Germany to the members of Kibbutz Chofetz Chaim. Frankfurt am Main, 1936. 

Letter to coordinate the activities of the members of Kibbutz Chofetz Chaim in Gedera and the members of the youth movement of Agudas Yisroel in Germany, who had immigrated or were intending to immigrate to Eretz Yisroel. Frankfurt am Main, 1936.

[1] leaf, official stationery, typewritten letter. With an addition of handwritten lines and a signature. The letter informs about the members of the movement who had immigrated to Eretz Yisroel and are planning to join the Kibbutz. There is also an inquiry as to a visit of a representative of the movement and increasing the cooperation between its management and its members.


Kibbutz Chofetz Chaim – the first Kibbutz of Poalei Agudas Yisroel was established by religious pioneers, members of the Ezra movement and the youth movement of Agudas Yisroel who immigrated from Germany after the Nazis rise to power. During their training, the members of the Kibbutz lived in tents under difficult conditions, undergoing agricultural training. In 1943, in coordination with the Gaon the author of the Chazon Ish, the Kibbutzim No’ar Agudati in Kefar Saba and Chofetz Chaim in Gedera appealed to the institutions of the Yishuv with a request to receive land upon which to build their joint Kibbutz. Their request was granted an in Iyar 1944, the Kibbutz took possession of the land south-eastern to Gedera. 


The youth movement of Agudas Yisroel in Germany – the crisis subsequent to World War I influenced the Chareidi youth of central Europe as well and they started joining general youth movements. To prevent this, a group of Chareidi student in Halberstadt established, in 1919, the Ezra youth movement as a Jewish-Chareidi alternative designated to bring the youth closer to observing Torah and Mitzvos. Influenced by the movement, dozens of its graduates travelled to study Torah at the large yeshivas of Poland and Lithuania, returning to Germany to educate the movement’s younger members. For several years the Ezra movement operated as part of Agudas Yisroel; yet, later, it withdrew from Agudas Yisroel to promote its educational goals unrelated to a political party. 

Tears along the fold lines, stains, filing holes, fair-good condition.
