His Majesty:
In the name of G d, the High Lord, Creator of Heaven
and Earth. We feel honored to stand before His Majesty
as representatives of the world Jewish organization
"Agudas Yisroel", and the "Eida Hachareidis",
in the Holy City of Jerusalem, organized under the leadership
of the "Vaad Hair" (National Comm.) of the
Ashkenazic Jewish Community.
"Agudas Yisroel" is an organization of the
world's orthodox Jewry which counts approximately one
million registered members and it speaks for an even
greater number of Orthodox Jews who although not registered
with our organization, are wholeheartedly sympathetic
with its goal to guard and preserve the traditional
character of the Jewish People and its Torah, which
was handed ever to us in its Holiness and entirety,
and to interpret in its Spirit all questions in Jewish
life.
Agudas Yisroel is an independent organization,
according to the resolutions of the latest ''Kenesia
Hagdola" (meeting) which was held recently in Vienna
in which the great Jewish leaders and Sages participated
and which did not authorize any other organization,
to speak its name or in the name of the entire Jewish
People.
In the name of this organization, and in the name of
the "Eida Hachreidis" of Jerusalem we welcome
with a blessing from the depths of our hearts the appearance
of His Royal Highness in the Holy Land. May G d, King
of all Kings exalt his kingdom and in his days shall
flourish justice for the benefit of those who find protection
in his shadow.
We assure His Majesty that the Jewish population relates
to their neighbors with brotherly harmony wherever they
exist, and also in the Holy Land we will adhere to that
tradition and in the future will cooperate with all
the inhabitants in the building and prospering of the
land for a blessing and peace with all ethnic groups.
We respectfully request from His Majesty that whenever
any expression of Jewish opinion on matters concerning
the Jewish population, or the Holy Land, will be brought
to his attention, he shall also grant permission to
the representative of "Agudas Yisroel" to
appear, representing Orthodox Jewry, for Which the Holy
Land is the center of their yearning and who pray for
its peace and rebuilding three times a day.
We also express our hope that His Majesty will do the
utmost to use his huge influence for the benefit of
the Jewish People which live in all Arab countries.
May the L rd of the universe bless him and his descendants,
and many more years shall he see the well being of his
people. In his and in our days shall "Judah"
be redeemed and Israel rest in tranquility.
AMEN
