Soldier's Get - World War II - Eretz Israel, 1940
Printed postcard declaration, addressed to Rabbi Yeshayahu Refaelowitz - Tel Aviv. 1940. "I hereby inform that I stand by my declaration that I signed in regard to my wife", filled in with the Jewish soldier's signature.
Initiated by the Chief Rabbi - Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac HaLevi Herzog, thousands of Jewish soldiers signed war-gittin before their conscription before the World War, so their wives would not remain agunot in the event that they do not return from the war. Rabbi Yeshayahu Refaelowitz (1870-1956, known as photographer of Eretz Israel photographs as well), the Army Rabbi of the British army in Eretz Israel was given responsibility for this matter. Postcards. Sent by army post. Good condition, stains and creases.
