1. Lengthy letter from Rabbi Herzog to the heads of Va'ad HaYeshivot. Sharp criticism of the Va'ad rabbis' ignoring the many activities of the chief rabbinate, who are devoted to Jewry both in the Land of Israel and abroad. He criticizes the perspective of individual rabbis who pressure other rabbis to ignore the rabbinate's institutions and their extensive activities. Shevat, 1950. Letter full of content, as yet unpublished. [4] leaves, signed. Handwritten corrections.

2. Letter from Rabbi Herzog to Rabbi Tukachinsky, with respect to accepting rabbis into Iggud HaRabbanim, as well as sharp remarks about the Va'ad HaYeshivot. Shvat, 1950. [2] leaves, signed.

3. Appeal to rabbis in the Land to come and participate in an assembly that will take place in the "Zion Hotel" on Lunz Street, about the danger to Shabbat as a result of the inception of the labor and rest hours law, up for deliberation in the Knesset in the coming days. Signed by Rabbi Herzog and Rabbi Uziel. Shvat, 1951.
