Sefer Divrei Chaim. With dedication by The Admor R' shlomo Halberstam of Bobov to Rabbi David H. Hill.
Sefer Divrei Chaim. Printed by the Bobob Yeshiva in N.Y. 1962.
With a handwritten dedication & wishing the recipient a refua shleima by the holy Rebbe Shlomo Halberstam the Admpor of Bobov to Rabbi David H. Hill. Dated 1964.
Rabbi David Hill came to the USA from Latvia in 1930. Influenced by his family’s fortunate escape from the Holocaust, he became aware and concerned with the situation of the Soviet Jews in the late 1950’s. As the national president of National Council of Young Israel he made attempts to place the issue of Soviet Jewry on the agenda of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations as early as 1961.
During that period the National Council of Young Israel began financially supporting Jewish life in the USSR by mailing the Soviet Jewish communities packages of goods with high value on the local black market, such as fur and leather garments. During the early 1960s, Rabbi Hill worked hard to explore new ways to help Soviet Jews and raised the issue in meetings with such notable religious and political figures as John F. Kennedy, Golda Meir, Ben Gurion and Menachem Mendel Schneerson the Admor of Lubavitch.
