An early letter from Maran HaGaon HaTzaddik Rav Shmuel HaLevi Wosner, Baal Shevet HaLevi, from his early years as Rav and Moreh Tzedek of the Kerem Avraham neighborhood in Yerushalayim. Written to the newspaper Kol Yisroel, first requesting to publicly clarify that the announcement in the paper, which stated that chocolate from the Liber company is non-dairy, is incorrect. Based on his investigation, the chocolate contains approximately 4% milk, and the matter must be publicized for the public’s awareness. Secondly, he raises an alarm regarding Shabbos desecration, which they are witnessing in their neighborhood of Kerem Avraham at the hands of the Tenuva company, as every single Shabbos morning, trucks leave from the central Tenuva facility—"Is it possible that we have no ability to eradicate this spreading plague from Yerushalayim Ir HaKodesh?!"
