The letters are addressed to supporters of the yeshivah. One of the letters was written in Elul; it contains a description of the yeshivah’s schedule. It had split into two in two neighboring towns, Dusiat and Salok, and despite this, ” … thank G-d, the voice of Torah has not weakened.” Rabbi Aharon imparts blessings towards the upcoming new year, and writes that during the high holidays, the yeshivah will pray on behalf of its supporters and benefactors.
