Controversial proclamations of the opinion of the Brisker Rabbi (Rabbi Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik) on participation in the elections. [Jerusalem, c. 1960-1961].
From his arrival to Eretz Yisrael, the Brisker Rabbi refused to publicly express his opinion on voting in the elections. A short while before the elections for the fourth Knesset and for the municipalities in Israel which took place on the 2nd of Cheshvan 1959 [after the sudden demise of the Brisker Rabbi on the day before Yom Kippur 1960], a letter given by the Brisker Rabbi in Tamuz 1959 in support of Agudat Yisrael was publicized. The content of the letter was a Yiddish translation of a proclamation that Rabbi Soloveitchik publicized at the time of elections in the Jewish community in Brisk in 1928. He gave the letter on the condition that Agudat Yisrael would not join the Religious Front with the Mizrachi parties. After this letter was publicized, a great controversy arose with the Neturei Karta and the Eida HaChareidit who claimed that the proclamation is false and the Brisker Rabbi never supported voting for the Zionist Knesset. We have here three proclamations on this matter.
1. "For the honor of the Rabbi one is to be banned - …the attitude of Maran of Brisk to Zionism is well known to all… at the time that all of us, his disciples and close companions clearly knew that all this is deceit and complete falsehood…".
2. "Two that contradict one another?!" – A proclamation with quotes from the letters written by Rabbi Lorentz and Rabbi Aharon Kotler, in opposition to a letter by Rabbi Amram Blau, leader of Neturei Karta.
3. "The attitude of Maran Ga'avad of Brisk to the elections" – A stencil print proclamation of a conversation The Brisker Rabbi had with Avraham Roth a member of the management of the Eidah HaChareidit of Jerusalem.
