Lot 330:
Stamped and signed receipts, some by hand. For buying land next to Haifa between 1935-1943. Tells the story about the immigration of pioneering chassidim to Israel, with great hope, which failed both spiritually and physically. Rav Yehezkel was born in Nishtadt in Poland, and his father was Admor Rabbi Yaakov Taubmivlona, great grandson of the Rahav Rabbi Yehezkel of Kozmir. After his father died, he was appointed the Admor. In 1925 he decided to move to Israel. 100 families moved with him, and they established Kfar Chassidim. As a result of economic difficulties, Rav Yehezkel recommended that they live in Kiryat Amal and work in Haifa, and they bought lots of land to prepare for it. But in 1936 the Arab Revolt broke out, and the way into Haifa was blocked. The chassidim got angry at him and asked for their money back. He couldn’t return the money because he had trouble with the loans he had taken out. At the end of his life he returned to Kfar Chassidim where he is buried. Filing holes, 11x23cm. Generally good condition.
