Responsum and opinion by Rabbi Moshe Yehuda Weiss concerning the ruling by the Agudat Harabbanim, with a declaration by Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Henkin, and other letters.
There is a warm handwritten dedication on the title-page.
Rabbi Moshe Yehuda Weiss (1881-1973) was a talented writer and polemicist. He wrote many books. After he lost a court case about printing books, he printed pamphlets against Rabbis of "Agudat Harabanim" in the USA. From 1959-1965 he published 3 parts of the book "Dovev Siftei Yeshainim" letters from rabbis against Zionism, it seems that most of them were clever forgeries.
