Letter handwritten and signed by Rabbi Unterman and Rabbi Yosef Katz—Tel Aviv, 1971.
2 letters on a single sheet:
1. The upper portion is a typewritten letter on official letterhead with corrections and additions handwritten by Rabbi Yosef Katz, the rabbi of the Merkaz Baalei Melacha neighborhood and the Geulat Yisrael synagogue in Tel Aviv. He requests that the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Isser Yehuda Unterman, help a family which immigrated from Russia and suffered for having remained faithful to their Jewish heritage and who descend from holy Jews who gave up their lives for the religion, and who need help with residence and because of a “daughter and mother-in-law” do not wish to live all together for peaceful reasons. He requests that Rav Unterman write some words to help them.
2. The bottom portion are lines handwritten and signed by Rabbi Isser Yehuda Unterman, to a few institutions related to that issue, with his official stamp. 33x21cm. Folding creases.
Rabbi Isser Yehuda Unterman (1886-1976) was a leader of the Mizrahi movement, a student of Rabbi Shimon Shkop, and served in the rabbinate of important communities in Lithuania, then Liverpool. He was the third Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv, and then became Israel’s 2nd Chief Ashkenazi Rabi. He wrote the Shut Shevet MiYehuda.
