Rabbi Chaim Uri Lipschitz (1912-2002) was a politically prominent rabbi and community activist. This important historical document concerns plans for a pioneering effort to establish a trade school under Chassidic auspices. According to this agreement, Rabbi Lipschitz was to serve as principal of the trade school (Yeshiva Leumanuth) and all subsequent policies would be discussed directly with the Bobover Rebbe. The Bobover Rebbe had a far reaching perspective and realized the importance of such a school for his community - however due to political and other social considerations, it did not come to fruition.
