In this letter from 1938, he expresses his deep dismay about the rampant secularization in the Land of Israel, the Shabbat desecration, shops with non-kosher foods, the secular court system and more. Already at that time, he foresaw that an “independent state” would arise for the Jews, and that its systems would be run entirely by the secular. Therefore, the cure must precede the illness, and the only cure is that all the religious movements unite into one party for the elections, to increase religious power.
