RARE! RABBI YECHEZKEL ABRAMSKI, RARE ENGLISH NOTICE REGARDING SPECIAL YOM KIPPUR KATAN SERVICE. EREV ROSH CHODESH ELUL 1934.

At a special rabbinical meeting held in 1934, a number of resolutions were passed, including the call for a special Yom Kippur Katan day of prayer, for Jews in Germany and in other European countries. The special services were held at the Machzikei Hadass Synagogue and the Stepney Orthodox Synagogue, where addresses were delivered by local rabbis. This notice, written in English, seems to be written and signed by Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky, London Rosh Beth Din.

It is very rare to find a letter of this kind written by Rabbi Abramski in English.

Accompanied by a page from a newspaper in which this letter was published.
