"Unfortunately, I have to admit that the path of some of the fanatics sometimes deviates from the right path..." - A letter by Rabbi Avraham Moshe of Sunderland


A long letter in the handwriting and signature of the Gaon Rabbi Avraham Moshe Bab'ad of Sunderland to Rabbi Haim Bloch, in which he reinforces the matter of publishing the truth in a place where liars abound. Sunderland, [1961].


In his letter, the Gaon extends to strengthen Rabbi Bloch in his path after the publication of his book "Mi Natan" and extends the importance of publishing the truth even when it seems that the liars have the upper hand. And sometimes it is enough to have two who publish the truth outside against the whole lie. And precisely in a place where few are the people of truth, they must carry their flag high and will not fear anyone. The words refer to some matters that Rabbi Bloch wrote in his book about which the disputants fought over.


The gaon Rabbi Avraham Moshe Bab'ad of Sunderland [1909-1966] Rabbi of Sunderland in England. Born to Toiyba and Rabbi Yosef Dov, rabbi of Toist and Aba"d in Mikolinic, descended of Rabbi Hashil of Karaka. Studied with his uncle and brother-in-law, Rabbi David Menachem Manish Bab'ad, rabbi of Ternopil, author of the Chavazelet Hasharon responsa. In 1938 he was appointed head of the "Or Israel" yeshiva in London. In 1942 he was appointed rabbi of the Adat Israel community in the city. In 1947 he was appointed rabbi of Sunderland, a position he held until his death. For decades he was a central activist in the Agudath Israel movement. In 1937, he attended the great conference in Marinbad. He published many articles in the ultra-Orthodox periodicals, and worked for the independent education.
