Description
   A poster issued by Agudat HaRabanim HaOrthodoxim of the United States and Canada decrying the current mode of mixed seating in synagogues for prayer services. It is written in both Hebrew and Yiddish . It mentions that the High Holidays are approaching and that one should separate himself from congregations like those. And the poster stresses that according to Jewish law it is forbidden to enter to pray in synagogoues such as these, even in a location where there is no other synagogue.

This is signed with the names of nine distinguished, internationally known Rabbis, beginning with R. Yisrael Meir HaKohen (Chafetz Hayyim), and including R. Chaim Ozer, R. Meir Arak, R. Avraham Yitshak HaKohen Kook and R. Dr. Meir Hildesheimer of Berlin.
