Collection of means of payment and interesting paper items, Palestine - A. Envelope sent to Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook, 1934. His son, Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook, added in his handwriting: “28th of Tishrei, 94.” B. Card: “I am against voting rights for women.” In 1919, the ‘Union of Hebrew Women for Equal Rights in Israel’ was established with the goal of promoting the involvement of women in public life and the granting of voting rights to women at the voters’ meeting in 1921. Much of the general public, led by most of the rabbis in Israel and overseas, were against the idea. It is possible that this slip was meant to be placed in the voting box by those who opposed voting rights for women. Rare! C.
