Upon arrival in Eretz Israel, he was chosen rabbi of the city of Petach Tiqvah. The recipent of the letter, Rabbi Judah Leib Seltzer, served at various times as rabbi of Bangor, Maine; Paterson, New Jersey; and Safed, Israel. He is most reknowned for his work on behalf of the Agudath ha-Rabbanim of the United States. In this letter, Rabbi Katz tells of an unsuccessful attempt to relocate the devastated Hebron Yeshivah to Petach Tikvah and the need for funds for his own Yeshivah in Petach Tiqva
