Rabbi Yaakov Lipschitz [1838-1921] was a Charedi communal worker, publicist and historiographer; Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor’s secretary. He became famous as the leader of the Charedi anti-Zionist organization known as “HaLiskah HaTehorah” or “HaLiskah HaShechorah” of Kovno. Lipschitz saw the Zionist movement as the spiritual successor of the Jewish Enlightenment movement, and fought a holy war against it. His activities centered on attempts to dissuade Charedi rabbis from joining the movement.
