There is almost no one who disagrees with the importance of Keren Hayesod" Letter by Azar [Alexander Ziskind], Tammuz 1922
A letter in the handwriting and signature of the writer and biographer Alexander Ziskind regarding the necessity of Keren Hayesod. The letter was sent to the Keren Hayesod Central Committee at their request that he be satisfied with the necessity of the fund: "The main thing is to bring to the community that what the Israelites give to Keren Hayesod is to give it for themselves, to provide them with a corner where they can work, They are rejected above their people and above the culture of their people, and what good is it if Chazat Tzion join this,This is the foundation element..." On the margins of the letter is Azar's signature.
Eliezer Ziskind Rabinowitz [1854-1945]: A writer, editor, biographer and translator, he served as a gabbai in the Chabad synagogue in Ladi. He later came to the Chavat Zion movement and in 1897 was elected to the first Zionist Congress. After his arrival in Eretz Israel, he was very close to Rabbi Kook, who even influenced him to come closer to a religious way of life. He even co-authored with Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook's son a booklet entitled 'Israeli Culture' inspired by the spirit of Rabbi Kook, To serve as an alternative journal for Ahad Ha'am's 'Shiloah', which expressed the Torah view, had it not been forced to stop publishing it after the first issue due to the outbreak of the First World War.
