Letter Signed by the Gaon Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein, Rosh Yeshivah of Slobodka and Chevron
"... we need to know that the Knesset Yisrael yeshivah has great influence, as most of the rabbis in Lithuania at this time are among its students." Long protocol from the Agudat Yisrael assembly in Kovno, which gathered on the occasion of the Slobodka yeshivah's return to Kovno, after it was exiled to Kremenchug during WWI. The protocol was sent to Agudat Yisrael's central committee in Zurich. The protocol was written by Rabbi Avraham Grodzinsky, who was later the rosh yeshivah. Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein signed the protocol as chairman of the assembly, aside the secretary. With the stamp of the Central Federation of Agudat Yisrael in Lithuania.
Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein [1866-1834] was the rosh yeshivah of Knesset Yisrael in Slobodka and in Chevron, and member of the Council of Torah Sages. Over the course of WWI, he moved with his yeshivah to Minsk and to Kremenchug. They then returned to Slobodka in 1919, which is the focus of this protocol. Due to a draft decree for the students at the Slobodka yeshivah in 1924, the yeshivah relocated to Chevron in the Land of Israel. Rabbi Epstein stayed there about a year, then returned to Slobodka to manage the yeshivah's affairs there, and again returned to Chevron. He authored the series of books Levush Mordechai.
