* Interesting letter handwritten and signed by Rebbe Mordechai Chaim of Slonim. [Tiberias, 1935]. In the letter he writes that "He exaggerated by describing him as one who has self-sacrifice. The truth is that I am a zealot, but G-d forbid did not reach self-sacrifice and one should not exaggerate". The rest of the letter is concerning immigration certificates to Eretz -Yisrael.
*On the second leaf of the letter is a letter by Rabbi Yisrael Cohen of Tiberias regarding a" shochet" for a settlement and receiving a certificate for him.
* Two letters of certification from the Menachmia settlement committee on the appointment of Rabbi Yisrael Cohen as rabbi and preacher of the settlement for "the past five years". Signed by three heads of the committee and authorized by the signature and stamp of Rabbi Moshe Kliers Rabbi of Tiberias.
Rebbe Mordechai Chaim Kastelanitz-Slonim (1868-1953), author of "Ma'amar Mordechai". Scholarly holy man, amongst the outstanding rabbis in Eretz- Yisrael who shied away from the limelight. An elder Slonim" Chassid" who still knew the first Slonim Rebbe, author of "Yesod Ha'avodah". In 1875, ascended to Eretz -Yisrael with his father Rabbi Yudel of Slonim to Tiberias where he served as "dayan" and was known as Rabbi Motel Dayan. After the death of the "Beit Avraham" in 1933, he was the eldest of the group who decided to appoint the Rebbe's son Rabbi Shlomo David Yehoshua Weinberg as rebbe, and wrote an open letter to the Chassidic community in Poland in regard to this appointment. In 1950, after the Holocaust and the murder of Rabbi Shlomo David Yehoshua, the elders of Slonim" Chassidism" gathered and appointed Rabbi Mordechai as rebbe [see, next item].
