A letter from Union of Immigrant Rabbis, signed by the director Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer
A letter from Rabbi Eliyahu Kletzkin and Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer to 'The General Committee of Knesset Yisrael' in the name of 'Hitachdut Rabbanim Olei Ha'aretz', the 'Union of Rabbis [who are] Immigrants to the Land.'
This organization was founded by Rabbi Meltzer and its aim was to "support the rabbis who had immigrated to Israel and could not support themselves" and "to support the rabbis who settled in the new settlements in Israel to teach Torah and religion." In time, it broadened its activity and its name was changed to 'Union of Rabbi-Refugees of Russia and Other Countries'. The organization was active for tens of years.
In the letter before us, from 21.3.1926, the two rabbis, directors of the organization, refer to a one-time support that they ask the General Committee to give to a few rabbis, members of the union, for the upcoming Passover holiday. The writers note especially Rabbi Avraham Zakheim, the author of 'Nitei Eitan', who immigrated to Israel in 1925, the son-in-law of Rabbi Hillel David HaCohen Travis, rabbinical court judge in Vilky, as needing financial help.
The signature of Rabbi Meltzer and seal of Rabbi Kletzkin appear at the margins of the letter.
Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer (1870-1954) was the rabbi of Slutsk and head of its yeshiva. Later he became the head of 'Etz Chaim' Yeshiva in Jerusalem and chairman of the Council of Torah Sages. He is the author of the work 'Even Ha'Ezel'.
Rabbi Eliyahu Kletzkin (1852-1932) was a rabbi and Halakhic decisor, the rabbi of Lublin and many other communities. He immigrated to Israel in 1925 and settled in Jerusalem, where he served as head of 'Ohel Moshe' Yeshiva.
