Interesting letter handwritten and signed by the Tzaddik Gaon Rabbi Amram Blau of Jerusalem.

Rabbi Amram Blau took care not to study in institutions supported by the State of Israel. Shortly before this letter was written, Rabbi Amram studied at the Ohel Moshe Yeshiva. Since the management of the yeshiva decided to join the Vaad Hayeshivot organization under the presidency of Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Herzog, Rabbi Amram asked the yeshiva to establish a branch of the yeshiva titled Shalom Yitzchak so that he will be able to say he is not studying in Ohel Moshe but in Shalom Yitzchak…

In this letter, Rabbi Amram writes to the management that he cannot stand the rebuke of ‘Tol Korah.." and is therefore informing the yeshiva that he is no longer its student in any capacity.
