Yoel describes the plight of a Torah scholar from Satmar imprisoned in Kraków, stressing the importance of providing support for his unfortunate family both for living expenses and to secure his release. R. Yoel also asks the recipient to pray for this Torah scholar, and involve others who can provide assistance.
