Important letter sent by the Va’ad HaYeshivos to R. Moshe Sokolovsky. The Va’ad HaYeshivos write that there was a meeting in Zurich to discuss the funding of Yeshivos through “The Joint”. The Joint apparently didn’t see the necessity for so many Yeshivos and wanted to introduce vocational training into the Yeshivos. At the behest of R. Chaim Ozer, all the Roshei Yeshiva were requested to sign a memorandum to the Joint, unequivocally stating that in truth the number of Yeshivos is small and that should vocational training be added to the curriculum the entire nature of the Yeshivos will be changed.
The Imrei Moshe responds that in order that “the Torah not be forgotten” there is absolutely no leeway to negotiate on these matters as stated by the Va’ad HaYeshivos and R. Chaim Ozer. With his signature and rabbinical stamp.
R. Moshe Sokolovsky (1868-1931), was a close student of R. Chaim of Brisk and from the year 1896-1931 served as Rosh Yeshivas Toras Chesed in Brisk, for a period together with R. Simcha Zelig Reiger. His sefer Imrei Moshe, was received in the Yeshiva world to great acclaim and is considered a classic to this day. His distinguished students include R. Moshe Soloveitchik of Switzerland, R. Aaron Yehuda Leib Steinman, R. Aryeh Pomeranchik (Toras Zera’im) and R. Ze’ev Eidelman.
