“Article on education” and article "Why are you sleeping…" – printed proclamation with two articles by the Chafetz Chaim (signed in print: “Yisrael Meir HaCohen from Radun author of the book Chafetz Chaim and Mishna Brura”). Baranovichi, [1934?].
The first article was first publicized in 1932 and is intended as opposition to "the new schools of various types filled with heresy… such as the Yiddishistin schools… and we have already seen the fruits of such schools in recent years…". In the second article which was publicized in 1928, the Chafetz Chaim writes: "A few weeks ago, I publicized an article about the great earthquake which was in our Holy Land [Av 1927] when I urged all the people of Israel to repent… and now we hear… the "earthquake" which took place in Russia… he who understands shall take it to heart that G-d is urging us to repent…".
This pamphlet with the two articles was first printed by Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman, the disciple of the Chafetz Chaim and Head of the Baranovitz Yeshiva, and was attached to the first edition of his book “Kovetz Shiurim”.
[4] pages. 34 cm. Fair condition. Dark stains and tears.
