Three proclamations issued by Belz Chasidut, during the period between the passing of Rabbi Aharon of Belz in 1957, and the appointment of Rabbi Yissachar Dov as Rebbe (only he remained from the family of Belzer Rebbes; the rest were wiped out in the holocaust), at the age of eighteen.
1-2. Call to the Public. Call to philanthropists to strengthen the Belzer institutions, yeshivot and cheiders. Signed by Torah giants who had connection to Belz Chasidut: Rabbi Dove Berish Weidenfeld of Tchebin, Rabbi Akiva Sofer of Pressburg, and Rabbi David Shparber of Barsha.
3. Proclamation addressed to Belzer Chasidim, printed at the end of the Belzer Rebbe's week of mourning, by Chasidim. Jerusalem, 1957. "From the meeting held in the week of mourning… participated by the Rabbis… it seems that the Rebbe left us a legacy: 'Belz will be a corner of Torah and Yirat Shamayim until the coming of Mashiach'. We must complete the building of the yeshiva… strengthen the Talmud Torahs… and appoint someone to carefully supervise the education of the child Yissachar Dov, son of the tzaddik of Bilguria… ensuring that he will grow to be a source of honor to his holy progenitors".
