Important Polemic letter by the Gaon Rabbi Eliezer Silber, Cincinnati 1934.
See Hebrew description for a partial transcription of this extraordinary letter.
Rabbi Eliezer Silber (1882 - 1967) was a leading American rabbi in his generation. He was born in Lithuania & was one of the first disciples of Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski, Rabbi of Vilna; and he learned by Rabbi Dovid Karliner and Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik.
In 1907, he moved to the United States where he served as President of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada and was one of the foremost Orthodox rabbis of American Jewry.
He served as rabbi of Cincinnati for more than forty years and served as the head of the Agudas HaRabbonim. He was actively involved in saving European Jewry and raising the pride of Judaism and Torah in America.
