Letter of Complaint by Religious Members to the Haganah Headquarters Regarding "Deficiencies ... Impede Religious Participation in Actions" - The 1940s.
The letter, in handwriting, indicates the great difficulty in observing the mitzvot by religious members of the Haganah. They complain about a series of shortcomings in activity, "that these impairments that influence educational influence spoil and destroy young men and women coming from our hands and from schools and from parents' homes close to us." It is inconceivable that a public organization, Will be allowed to do these acts, which also include an offense, also harming the holy feelings of the Jews and a bad influence on young people. " The complaints are "especially at three points - Shabbat, kosher food and modesty": About Shabbat desecration - "maliciously and recklessly without any need ... writing on Shabbat in front of many people ... traveling ... every cigarette smoking, every cooking on Shabbat, lighting and extinguishing the light and so on are desecration of the Sabbath without justification." Kosher food - "There are places where our friends get fed ... because of the inability to enjoy the food provided to them ... There were also cases where treifa was given officially and concentrated ..." On Modesty - "The demand for correction in this area is not a specific religious requirement, but rather the demand of every person with a culture and educational understanding ... not to let break-ins in our ranks ... not to sleep with girls in one room ..." Unique and interesting item. The letter may be incomplete. No signature and date. Dimensions : 29x22 cm. Condition : Good-fair, yellowing paper, few time stains, folding marks, cuts and tears, almost without missing.
