   Each of the letters decries the fact that "there are various people endeavouring to boycot [sic] the Meshulochim from the holy institutions in Erez Israel and the charity-boxes ..." therefore R. Kook prohibits "to cause any loss or damage to holy charity-work...to interfere in any manner whatsoever with exisiting arrangements..."and also states that it is prohibited to change charity funds from one purpose to another ..."

R. Sonnenfeld's letter repeats exactly the same statementss,
