Letter of R. Gershon Liebman, a head of the Novardok yeshiva movement. Paris, 1972.
Typewritten on official stationery of the Or Yosef yeshiva in France, and signed by its dean R. Gershon Liebman.
The letter was sent to Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum. R. Gershon reports to the Rebbe on establishing institutions in France to rescue destitute families from Eretz Israel from missionaries. R. Gershon adds that this stirred up a commotion in Israel, with the matter reaching the Knesset, but their opposition was unsuccessful.
R. Gershon Liebman (1905-1997), founder and leader of the Or Yosef network of Novardok yeshivot in France, and one of the greatest Novardok musar leaders of all times. R. Gershon arranged underground musar yeshivot in the ghettos and camps throughout the Holocaust, and established a Novardok yeshiva in Bergen-Belsen immediately after the war ended. In 1948, the yeshiva moved to France, where it expanded to a network of over 40 Torah and educational institutions.
