'Etz Chaim' Torah and Building fund. Jerusalem. Rare advertisement brochure of the fundraising foundation for the 'Etz Chaim' yeshiva and Talmud Torah in Jerusalem. Jerusalem: Salomon Press, c. [1930] Yiddish and English.
The brochure contains photographs from the Etz Chaim neighborhood, the yeshiva building, students of the yeshiva and architectural plans for the 'Etz Chaim' building in Machaneh-Yehudah in Jerusalem. Letters of recommendation are brought at the end of the booklet - a joint letter signed in print by Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook and Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, and an additional letter from Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer, Rabbi Yechiel Michel Tukachinsky, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Zeleznik and others.
In 1908 Rabbi Yechiel Michel Tukachinsky initiated buying a large property in Machaneh Yehudah where a branch of the yeshiva in the old city was established. This booklet was intended to let people know the plans for the building of the yeshiva and kollel. The date is according to the bibliography.
