The Rebbe of Munkatch against Agudat Yisrael and the Rebbe of Gur – a Rare Polemic Booklet – 1932
Divrei Ha'Igeret – Munkatch – polemic against "Agudat Yisrael", letters by the Rebbe Rabbi Chaim Elazar Shapira Av beit Din of Munkatch against "Agudat Yisrael". Printed by the "God-fearing here in the holy city of Jerusalem". [1932].
Extremely rare! It is most likely that not many copies of this booklet had been printed and the few that were, did not survive, apparently because of its content which caused the anger of the residents of Jerusalem.
The booklet before us contains sharp remarks against Agudat Yisrael and its institutions. [About the Orthodox seminars in Berlin it is written that they are "like a pig which is considered sacred", the Beit Ya'akov schools are called "the house of Esau" etc.]. There are also sharp remarks against the Rebbe of Gur who was one of the greatest supporters of Agudat Yisrael.
The booklet contains the letter by Rabbi Avraham Chaim David Schreiber, the president of Kollel Estreich, to the Rebbe and the Rebbe's response. In his response, the Rebbe attacks the Rebbe of Gur for supporting Agudat Yisrael and the schools of Beit Ya'akov.
The Rebbe Rabbi Chaim Elazar Shapira (1872-1937) was a Torah, Halacha and Hassidism genius. Among others, he authored the books "Minchat Elazar" Responsa, Sha'ar Yissachar, Nimukei Orach Chaim, Divrei Torah 9 sections and more. He was known for his zealousness and his war against Zionism and Agudat Yisrael.
