Large volume with lists of donors to Beit Yosef – Navahrudak Yeshiva in Bnei Brak, and a list of the amount of the donations. Protocols and lists of donations to the yeshiva. Lists of yarzeits in memory of the dead etc. The entries in the notebook are from 1940-1943.
Lists of thousands of donors from dozens of various cities and settlements in Eretz Israel, rabbis, farmers and workers, bankers and industrialists, laborers and academics. Has donations from members of worker settlements and kibbutzim. The donors' addresses are in Tel Aviv and Netanya, Hadera and Binyamina, Yagur and Beit She'arim, Gan Yavne and Givat Brenner, Be'er Tuvia and Ayelet HaShachar, Deganya and Kfar Vitkin, Ein Charod and Ginegar, Ra'anana and Herzliya, Nahalal and Nachliel, and many other places.
Some donations from kibbutzim were donated by the settlement office but large donations were received by many kibbutz members who gave charity to the Navahrudak Yeshiva… and many donations by their elderly parents [who sometimes were Charedi Jews such as Rebbetzin Castlebinitzi from Givat Brenner, R' David Heller of Ein Charod who brought the "Elders" donation, R' Ya'akov Shorr of Kibbutz Ginegar, etc).
Entered on page 168 is a donation of $100 transferred by Rabbi Shmuel Greinman, from the Chazon Ish.
The Beit Yosef Yeshiva was established in Givat Rokeach Bnei Brak, in 1933 by Rabbi Mattityahu Tshetigal, who brought a group of young men from the Navahrudak yeshivot abroad to Eretz Israel. He appointed Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael Kaneivsky, The Steipler, to head the yeshiva. The Chazon Ish settled near the yeshiva and at times, he too would give discourses in the Beit Yosef Yeshiva.
This notebook reveals the initiatives of the energetic emissary [Rabbi Alter Tzuker] to give the privilege of supporting Torah learners to all Jews who settled in Eretz Israel which is characteristic of the Navahrudak Yeshiva movement which taught courage and full devotion in carrying out G-d's will. Its students did not fear any human being but learned G-d's Torah with complete devotion.
The booklet has 289 pp. (half written, approximately 365 written pp), 32.5 cm. Fair condition, wear, moth holes, detached leaves and worn binding.
