Archive of Va'ad HaIr HaAshkenazi Part III: Dozens of Rare and Important Historic Documents
At the beginning of the rule of the British Mandate in the Land of Israel, a municipal committee - 'Va'ad HaIr' was established. Its purpose was to represent the general Jewish community to the authorities. Over time, the leaders of the Chareidi-Ashkenazi public realized that their voice was not being heard by the committee administration and they established an alternative institution called Va'ad HaIr HaAshkenazi (later known as Edah HaChareidit). The new Va'ad represented the interests of the Chareidim to the British authorities. The important archive before us contains the union, the beginning of the division, the split and the establishment of the Va'ad HaIr HaAshkenazi, and from it to the Edah HaChareidit. Dozens of rare and important historic documents (about 40 leaves), including historic discoveries and letters handwritten and signed by the giants of Jerusalem.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a detailed list.
