B. An interesting, important letter by Rabbi Yisrael Chaim Eiss, the well-known activist of Agudat Yisrael, to the managers of the Jerusalemite branch of Agudat Yisrael. In the letter, he responds to their complaint why Rabbi Kook was invited to be a member of "Moetzet Gedolei Ha'Torah" of Agudat Yisrael. He explains that Rabbi Kook had joined Agudat Yisrael several years earlier and was chosen as a member of "Moetzet Gedolei Ha'Torah" on behalf of the national federation of the Land of Israel together with Rabbi Chaim Berlin. "The center [Agudat Yisrael] had no say in the matter… Rabbi Kook was then an admirer of Agudat Yisrael and did not think for a moment to stray from the general way of the other rabbis and great Torah scholars". 1920. Two pages.
