Between the Yeshiva World and Modern Orthodoxy from APPENDICES
Frankfurt am Main, 14 May 1934
Copy 83–72 4/5
Agudas Jisroel
Head Office:
26, Leopoldgasse, Vienna II.
The undersigned President of the Agudas Jisroel World Organization intends, together with his colleagues, the advocate Dr I. Breuer of Frankfurt am Main, and the dentist Dr S. Ehrmann of Frankfurt am Main, to be present at a meeting of the central council of our Organization to be held in Warsaw on 28 May. The meeting will be devoted primarily to matters connected with the activities of our Organization dedicated to the religious reconstruction of the Holy Land and to the promotion of the religious schooling and educational systems, to which Agudas Jisroel has been committed in many different countries.
Together with his colleagues, the undersigned has already sought during the last year, by word of mouth and in writing, to stem the virulent boycott of German goods that is being mounted abroad, by emphasizing the irrational nature of this campaign, even when it is considered from a purely Jewish standpoint.
Our efforts in this field have met with undeniable success in Western countries, inasmuch as those Orthodox circles in particular that are close to us are by degrees withdrawing from the boycott campaign.
The situation is more difficult in the East, especially in Poland. Last September we sent a prominent figure from our circle, Rabbi Dr M. Hildesheimer, to Warsaw, for the express purpose of resolving the situation, but without achieving any significant result.
We now intend to take advantage of the occasion of our participation in the Warsaw meeting once again to moderate and enlighten public opinion, and we make bold to enquire whether there is any material that might perhaps be put at our disposal by the Foreign Ministry or whether we might count on receiving any useful advice that may help to further our objective. If necessary, we should be prepared, if that were considered appropriate, to contact the German Embassy in Warsaw. However, in view of the prevailing mood in that country, we would have to proceed with caution and above all with discretion.
