R. Israel Meir Kagan (d. 1933), known as the "Chofetz Chaim," was renowned as both the leading halachist and Tzadik of his generation. This letter calls upon Anglo-Jewry to financially assist the representatives of the Radun Yeshiva, Rabbis Moses Landinsky and Hillel Ginsburg (the latter being the Chofetz Chaim's son-in-law)
