Letter from Rabbis of Jerusalem during the Holocaust - Signatures of Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky, Rabbi Bengis and the Rabbi of Teplik
Handwritten letter, "from the Torah scholars and rabbis of Eretz Israel", signed by foremost Jerusalem rabbis: R. Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky, R. Zelig Reuven Bengis and R. Shimshon Aharon Polonsky. [Jerusalem, ca. 1944]. Appeal to save the yeshivot in Jerusalem, who are bereft of their financial support from Europe, due to WWII and the Holocaust. "The large wave of blood and antisemitism that has swept over the entire world, has deeply affected one of the Torah fortresses, the large and ancient school and yeshiva in Jerusalem… this significant source of spirituality, was supported by our generous brethren in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. With the destruction of Europe and the major upheaval these countries have underwent in recent years, this source of income has almost completely dried up… We therefore turn to you… Save and rescue this illustrious Torah stronghold before it is too late!...".
