Informs on behalf of the Kollel's president - Maran the Darkei Teshuva of Munkatch - that the supervisors that were chosen in Eretz Hakodesh had resigned and therefore they must elect new supervisors and consultants.  II. The Kollel's president abroad suggest electing ” three supervisors and two consultants ... who, in our opinion, will restore the Kollel to its former glory... ”. He suggest electing the Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Frankel, Dayan in Eretz Yisrael, Rabbi Baruch Feldbrand and Rabbi Benzion Shapiro as supervisors and Rabbi Avraham Eliezer Homel and Rabbi Yehuda Zvi Adler as consultants, ” who are the people who our donors abroad hope will restore the Kollel to its former glory ”.  III.

Names of donors who had established a fund and the obligation to write their names on the calendar, with several such names.  V: He suggests sending the donors of potatoes, gifts from Eretz Yisrael.
