Historical Document Handwritten by Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld – Agreement to the Reconciliation between Him and Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Ha'Cohen Kook, as Suggested by the Rebbes of Poland – Jerusalem, 1924 – Important Discovery
An important document by Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, partially handwritten by him, with his handwritten signature.
To the best of our knowledge, this historical document, which has been inexplicably preserved, has never been printed. An important discovery!
During the controversy between the followers of Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld and the rabbis of the Chief Rabbinate headed by Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Ha'Cohen Kook, several reconciliation attempts were made.
One of these attempts was made in 1924 when a special delegation headed by the Rebbe of Gur author of 'Imrei Emet' came to the Land of Israel. Three Rebbes of the delegation suggested a compromise between the parties. Before us is the official document of the compromise, which Rabbi Yosef Chaim signed and to which he added two handwritten lines.
19x12cm.
Condition: Fair-Good. Wear and tear. The ink has smeared in several words. Folding marks.
