— Letters of haskama

The gedolei Yisroel placed their hands on this home.

Across seventy-five years the home has received letters of haskama and brocha - from the Rishon LeZion, from the Badatz of the Eida Hachareidis joined by Maran HaRav Elyashiv ztz"l, from the Badatz of Belz with the Rebbe's own signature - alongside professional appreciation from Hadassah Hospital. The letters are shown here as they are: the paper, the stamp, and the signature.
