"Torah Ve-Yir'ah" Archives - Jerusalem 1937-1949
Interesting archives from the office of Rabbi Meir Cohen, principal and supervisor of the "Torah Ve-Yir'ah" Yeshiva in Jerusalem, 1937-1949.
The archives contain administrative notebooks, detailed bookkeeping, protocols and private lists which include information on the interactions between the various administrative members, student lists with a description of their behaviors, grades and more, letters to the administration and internal correspondence, test questions, Torah novellae, certificates and other items. (Featuring the signatures of many "Torah VeYir'ah" rabbis such as: Rabbi Aharon Katznelbogen, Rabbi Ya'akov Rotman and more).
Back in the day, the "Torah Ve-Yir'ah" Yeshiva institutions in Jerusalem included a Talmud Torah, Yeshiva Ketana and a youth movement called "Chanoch LNa'ar" which were all founded by a group of "Kana'im" members of the "Edah Chareidit" [now known as the "Neturei Karta"]. A Yeshiva Gedola and Kollel were later opened. These archives give us a unique peek into the Talmud Torah and Yeshiva world of Jerusalem throughout that period of time.
The archives include leaves, booklets and notebooks, close to 200 leaves covered with a small, fine handwriting, various sizes and conditions.
