Draft of a proclamation signed by 18 rabbis of Bnei Brak, protesting the affront to the honor of the elderly R. Moshe Aryeh Freund, head of the Edah HaCharedit in Jerusalem, who was attacked by policemen during the course of Shabbat demonstrations in Jerusalem. [Bnei Brak, Elul 1987].
Typewritten, with the handwritten signatures of the rabbis. The rabbis express their outrage at the policemen's blatant degradation of Torah. They continue by describing the virtue of Shabbat observance, and conclude with a prayer for the full repentance of their distant brethren and a blessing for a good new year (final few words handwritten by R. Wosner).
