Hard and sharp letter in the handwriting and signature of Boris Schatz, director of Bezalel, dated 9/31/1929, which was sent to the Chief Rabbi of Stockholm (Sweden), Rabbi Mordechai (Marcus) Ehrenfries, in which Boris Schatz implores him to return the work of art which Left with him 24 years earlier, and that he would help Bezalel in his difficult time. The letter was written during the last dying convulsions of the Bezalel School of Art, when large parts of the school's buildings were already desolate.
"I have known you for a long time with all the virtues and all the disadvantages. I know vertically that you are a great man and a great lazy man, and all this comes because you think: I will be able to do tomorrow ... and so years passed, and if I had been with you then everything would have been arranged in fifteen minutes. All troubles have an end, and you must make an end, that I will not have to make an end, Because then it will not be pleasant for both of us either ... " . and ask him to return the work he left with him 24 years earlier, and if he decided to buy it he would detail the material from which it is made to set a price for it. Schatz also adds that he seeks the financial support of Rabbi Ehrenfreiz at least for the museum in harsh words: " You and your congregation should not be separated from the public, who are the only ones and it could be your fault - that they did nothing for Bezalel...
