A manifesto calling for a rebellion against the British Mandate. Judging by the contents of the letter included here - and the extensive printing errors - this volume appears to be a pre-publication issue of the work. Receiving a traditional yeshiva education under the tutelage of the great R. Yude-Leyb Tsirelson in Kishinev, Moshe Sambatyon (1913-86) moved to Eretz Israel in 1935. There he founded a religious high school as well as a youth group named Brit Yeshurun. Following the establishment of the State of Israel he moved to Montreal where he continued to write and teach in both Yiddish and Hebrew.
