Ledger of Grants for the Chafetz Chaim Yeshivah. Jerusalem, 1953 - The Etz Chaim yeshivah was a glorious institution. It was the yeshivah of the old city of Jerusalem - and of the new city; its sweet products were a byword. In 1925, the gaon Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer, rabbi and lecturer in Slutzk, ascended to the Land of Israel, and was appointed head of the yeshivah. His assumption of this position raised the status of the yeshivah tenfold and more, with his clear lectures in which he drew from and disseminated the waters from which he imbibed by his rabbis: The Netzi”v of Volozhin, and Rabbi Chaim of Brisk. R' Isser Zalman devoted his entire being to raising the banner of Torah among the young children. The famed principal of the yeshivah was Rabbi Michel Tukachinsky, who devoted his entire being to raising the banner of the yeshivah. He opened a special fund for the senior members of the yeshivah and the kollel, especially for excellent students, to grant them special funds, making the yeshivah a magnet for spiritual giants of Jerusalem. This ledger includes the grants received by those same excellent students in 1953. This list is a glimpse at those tens of Torah scholars devoted to study and understanding Torah and who later became among the city's leading Torah disseminators. A small sampling of the lofty figures who studied Torah in poverty, creating the image of the glorious Jerusalem of those days, with Torah and poverty on the one hand, and asceticism and charity on the other, are among those who signed receipt of the monthly grant: Rabbi Aryeh Levin Rabbi Yosef Leib Zussman - later a leading Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak David Guttfarb Rabbi Yisrael Ya'akov Fisher - one of the  gedolei haposkim  and author of  Even Yisrael Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, one of the  gedolei hador , author of  Darkei Shmuel Rabbi Yehudah Shapira, a close associate of the Chazon Ish Rabbi Chaim Brimm, among the prominent personalities of the Holy City Rabbi Nota Freund, later a lecturer in Etz Chaim and one of the leading disseminators of Torah and Chassidut Rabbi Chaim Shalom Segal, among the prominent Chaba”d  mashpi'im Rabbi Shmuel Hominer, one of the tzaddikim of the city Rabbi Sender Freund, famed for his extreme genius Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Landau, later among the leading disciples of the Chazon Ish Rabbi Avraham Moshe Hamburger, author of  Chiddushei Rabi Avraham Moshe al Sha”s Rabbi Shmuel Aharon Yudelevitz, later a lecturer at Etz Chaim, author of  Me'il Shmuel Rabbi Matityahu Davis, author of  Matat Melech and  faithful attendant of the av beit din , R' Zelig Reuven Bengis Rabbi Chaim Druck, author of  Orot Chayim Rabbi Zundel Kroizer, leading Torah disseminator, author of  Ohr HaChammah Lined notebook. 60 leaf. 20 cm.
