Scope and Content
One broadside, titled "One Million Dollar Campaign," related to the fundraising efforts for the Yeshiva "Reshith Chochma Shearith Hapletah," under the leadership of Rabbi Solomon Leib Halberstam (the Klausenburger Rabbi), with the purpose of establishing a Torah institute for Jewish refugees from Europe, in Brooklyn, New York, 1947. In addition to a new year's greeting, the broadside contains a letter in English and Yiddish encouraging the reader to donate to this project, with reproductions of various newspaper articles about it on the verso of the broadside.
