Nine telegrams from rabbis of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis (UOR). New York, 3-8 July 1943. English.
The telegrams, which are all related to the Tehran Children affair, voice the protest of the rabbis against the Jewish Agency in Eretz Israel, who arranged for the absorption of the children in secular educational institutions and frameworks. The rabbis demand that the children be transferred to the care of the chief rabbi R. Yitzchak Eizik HaLevi Herzog. The telegrams are signed (in print) by nine rabbis of the UOR, including R. Yaakov Kamenetsky, R. Mordechai Pinchas Teitz, R. Reuven Epstein, R. Yosef Feldman, R. Aryeh Leib Kaplan and others.
