1. A large declaration of the opinion of the Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Kook, in which the words of Rabbi Kook are quoted from Igrot Raya, paragraph 85, to prohibit in any way the participation of yeshiva students in the war effort: " And what more did we see the greatness of the forbidden To make an Angry student of wisdom to impose war even on a very great war of mitzvot ... To press the Torah scholars to cancel their Torah and go to war or to any other work is forbidden at all times, as we explained from the prohibition of performing an Angora on Torah scholars ... They protect the land and help the success of the national weapon no less than the all fighting force. "The poster was published during the battles of the War of Independence, By the National Committee to bring out Torah scholars to assist in battles, 50x70 cm. Folding marks. Fair condition - good.

2. After the declaration was issued and hung on the street, Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook, son of Rabbi Kook, issued a response poster on the fifteenth of Nissan (1948) in which he claims that his father's words were taken out of context and that they were said in connection with the liberation of Yeshiva students are required to enlist in the War of England, Russia, and Germany, but not in a war that entails saving lives in the Land of Israel. "I have now seen that a section of a letter by the Admor HaRav zt" l has been published in the streets of Jerusalem, as if he is helping, G-o-d- forbid, to evade the full responsibility of standing up for our lives ... This letter was written in the month of Iyar 1917. While trying to hide the matter he was discussing and to mislead the audience as if these quotes have any connection to our situation now, it is regrettable that it is a very bad distortion." 34x50 cm Folding marks, few tears. Good-fair condition.
