Ten Important Letters Handwritten by Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Ha'Cohen Kook – Five of Them Dealing with the Saving of Students of the Lithuanian Yeshivas and Brining Them to the Land of Israel
During his last years, on the eve of the Holocaust, Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Ha'Cohen Kook devoted his time to an attempt to rescue yeshiva students of Lithuania and Poland by bringing them to the Land of Israel by means of certificates he had obtained for them from the British. After they were brought to Israel, they all studied at his yeshiva of 'Merkaz Ha'Rav'. Some of those students later became prominent rabbis.
Five unknown letters shed additional light on this "Rescue enterprise" of Rabbi Kook:
A. Letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Kook to the members of Ha'Poel Ha'Mizrachi from the 26th of Nissan 1934.
B. Letter signed by Rabbi Kook and with his stamp to Rabbi Sheragai, one of the leaders of Ha'Poel Ha'Mizrachi. The 21st of Tamuz 1934.
