Collection of Po'alei Agudat Yisrael Election Posters - The First Elections of the State of Israel, 1949
Collection of posters and proclamations on behalf of the Union of Po'alei Agudat Yisrael (Pagi), printed before the elections to the constituent assembly, held in the month of Tevet at the end of 1948 / January 1949.
The posters and proclamation call to vote for the "Charedi list", Yud Chet. The response of the Chazon Ish to the letter of Rabbi and Rebbes is quoted on one of the proclamations. He wrote, "All the rabbis who instructed to vote for Bet, did not say not to vote for Yud Chet. If you are permitted to vote for Bet, how much more so for Yud Chet which is entirely composed of Charedim". The picture of Rabbi Moshe Blau appears on another poster. This list did not pass the electoral threshold.
Total of 9 items, three appear in two copies. Varied size and condition.
