“Strengthening of Awareness”, printed proclamation including letters by Rabbi Shmuel Salant and Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor for strengthening the institutions of the Ashkenazi congregation in Jerusalem, 1894.
This letter by Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan was written as reinforcement of the printed letter “Great Notice and Heartfelt Appeal”, printed in Kislev 1893, during the period of dispute in Jerusalem institutions, whereupon the scribe Rabbi Michel Cohen who served as secretary of the Ashkenazi institutions and was among prominent activists of the city, was dismissed along with his son and son-in-law Rabbi Chaim Michel Michlin, from their positions in the Etz Chaim Yeshiva and Bikur Cholim Hospital. Afterwards they filled the positions of secretary of Sephardic Misgav Ladach institutions, with “list of donors” of Ashkenazi institutions, and made an effort to harm the institutions from which they were dismissed.
