Pinkas Yeshivath Ohel Moshe.

R. Joshua Leib Diskin (Mahari”l Diskin, 1818-98), founded the Ohel Moshe Yeshiva in Jerusalem in 1897. According to the regulations of this Pinkas, the intention was to have on enrollment ten of the very greatest scholars of Jerusalem who would receive full financial support, with additional such eligible students added in accordance to funds collected. The ledger includes the names of both the students, as well as the administrators and donors from across the world. The distinguished authority of R. Joshua Leib Diskin carried such weight that many of the most prominent international Rabbis agreed to act as supervisors in their locale for the receipt of funds on behalf of the yeshiva. Including: R. Yaakov Perlow of Warsaw (the Novominsker Rebbe), his son-in-law R. Moshe, R. David Tevel Katzenellenbogen of Suvalk (later St. Petersburg), R. Meir Atlas of Salant (father-in-law of R. Elchanan Wasserman), R. Chaim Leib Rottenberg of Stavisk, R. Sinai Schiffer of Karlsruhe and many others. Locations cited include donors stemming from cities of Poland: Warsaw, Kolisch, Lublin, Izbitza, Kielce, Schedlitz and Lomza. Russia: Omsk, Tapolesan, Kiev, Moscow, Odessa, Grodno and Novograd. United States: San Francisco, Poughkeepsie, Brooklyn and Manhattan. Among the list of donors are such notables as Rabbi Jacob Mazeh of Moscow (later involved in the Beilis trial in Kiev) and Relka daughter of HaGaon R. Yoseph Dov HaLevi. Included is a list of students from the summer of 1903 many of whom became celebrated personages of the Aschkenazi community of Jerusalem and elsewhere, including: R. David Bahran, R. Moshe Blau, R. Zelig Braverman, R. David ben Akiva Yoseph Schlesinger, R. Abraham Chaim Zwebner, R. Mendel Gelbstein and R. Joseph Ralbag. See Y. Sheinberger, Amud Esh: HaSaraf MeBrisk (1954) p. 76-7.
