Autograph Letter Signed, in Hebrew to R. Elijah Menachem Goiten, Rabbi of Högyesz (Otzer Rabbanim no. 2287) concerning a communal dispute

Although the text of the letter does not specify what the specific controversy was, Hirsch’s piety is self-evident within the letter: “My heart is most distressed concerning the conditions of the communities in your country... [but] it is impossible for someone who is so far away from the situation to clarify the truth of the matter.” He concludes with the blessing “God should preserve his Nation and Torah in all their scattered communities.”
