Letter from Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook to the Butchers and Ritual Slaughterers


Letter signed by the first chief rabbi of Israel, the gaon Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook, to the butchers and ritual slaughterers in Jerusalem. Elul, 1929.


In his letter, Rabbi Kook prohibits the butchers and ritual slaughterers from receiving a hechsher from any other kashrut organization besides Va'ad HaShechitah unless it is with the approval of Va'ad HaShechitah and Rabbi Kook himself. Rabbi Kook uses extremely sharp language in his letter: "So that they not destroy, Heaven forbid ... matters that are uppermost in the lives of the public concerning issues of ritual slaughter.

Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook [1865-1935] was the leader of Religious Zionism, adjudicator and Kabbalist, founder of HaYeshivah HaMerkazit HaOlamit, which is the Mercaz HaRav yeshivah. He served as rabbi in Zheimel and in Boisk, as rabbi of Jaffa and the colonies, and later as Ashkenazic rabbi of Jerusalem. He established the Chief Rabbinate of the Land of Israel and served as the first Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi after 2000 years of exile.
