A Strong Letter Against Going to the Courts of the Zionists – From the ‘Tschabiner Rav’ ZYA”A, Teves 1958 A forceful letter against going to the civil courts of the Zionists, from the Gaon HaAdir Rabbi Dov Berish Weidenfeld, the Tschabiner Rav ZYA”A – Teves 5718. The Gaon writes somewhat in allusion, likely out of fear of the government: ”…as they have set boundaries and forbade to go to their court, and so forth…” ”…As I was informed by the administration of Yeshivas ‘Chayei Olam’, that a trial was held against them and they were not summoned to a Din Torah, and if these matters are true I am greatly surprised, for his honor is known to me as one who reveres Torah. Therefore, if ch”v a mistake came from him, let it be corrected, to prevent the trial and summon them to a proper Din Torah, for my ways are the ways of pleasantness, and as they have set boundaries and forbade to go to their court, etc…” ”With the hope that his honor will fulfill that which is said according to Torah. Written for the honor of the holy Torah and for his own welfare.”
