Letter of Reports and Emissary Letters Sent from the Office of the Slonim Chassidim in Kobryn to the Or Torah Yeshiva in Tiberias
A collection of letters and financial reports, sent from the committee of the Slonim Chassidim to the Or Torah Yeshiva in Tiberias, Kobryn, 1905-1911.
Letters signed by Rabbi Azriel Yeshaya [Leichtung], Rabbi Mordechai Shimon HaCohen [ben Rabbi Zvi Hirsh] and the emissary Rabbi Yitzchak Matityahu Sandberg.
The committee of the Or Torah Yeshiva was founded by the public activist Rabbi Azriel Yeshaya Leichtung who managed the committee from its establishment in c. 1899. [Apparently, due to legal restrictions in collecting contributions, the committee was labeled "commercial": "The General Committee Supervising the store for Etrogim and olivewood utensils from The Land of Israel, whose yields are dedicated to the Or Torah Yeshiva in Tiberias”]. These letters and reports contain many details of various donors and their requests for prayers at holy sites as well as addresses for sending receipts and various reports of the activities of collecting the money on behalf of the yeshiva.
41 leaves (approximately 80 written pages), approximately 28 cm. Fair condition, wear and some tears.
