Letter from Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Lubavitch Addressed to Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld; Riga, 1929

“I have come to approach the Rabbi regarding an important matter… Russian Jewry.”
Signed letter from Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of Lubavitch addressed to Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld requesting that the latter meet with several important American activists who were visiting Eretz Yisrael at the time and try to convince them to see to it that the Joint resume their support of Russian Torah institutions.
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak writes that due to cutbacks from the Joint, “the power of the activists in Russia, who risk their lives to the point of punishments of imprisonment… and cruel exile, are failing…”

Dated the 13th of Nissan, Riga, 1929, Apparently unpublished.
