Letters handwritten and signed by the Rebbe of Seret-Vizhnitz, Rabbi Baruch Hager. Haifa, July 1951. Sent to the Agudat Yisrael center. The rebbe writes that for his own reasons, he refrains from signing any party proclamations [this letter is apparently a response to a party's request to sign a notice before the second elections, held in August, 1951]. Part of the letter was possibly written by his scribe. Rebbe Baruch Hager of Seret-Vizhnitz (1895-1963, Otzar HaRabbanim 4066), fourth son of the Ahavat Yisrael of Vizhnitz. He was ordained for the rabbinate by the Maharam Arik and by Rabbi A. M. Steinberg of Brody. Served in the rabbinate from 1923. In 1936, he was appointed Rebbe of Seret and in 1947, immigrated to Haifa and reestablished his Beit Midrash and the community institutes. Member of the Mo'etzet Gedolei HaTorah of Agudat Yisrael. Official stationery, 22 cm. Good condition, file holes.
