The Duke of Yitzhak is a Jewish figure

The history of the formation of Israel after the Second World War, its recognition by other states and the recognition of the Jewish people as an ethnos, which has its rights, is not particularly rich in prominent figures. As a rule, very few people sympathized with Jews, and even fewer those who tried to help them. The Jews themselves, who tried to correct the situation during the Second World War, are altogether single. It was during this period that an actor such as the Duke of Yitzhak Aizik appeared.

His contribution to the establishment of Israel and the Jewish people as a single independent whole Israelis appreciate to this day. The Duke of Yitzhak, without fearing for his life, crossed the ring, embracing on the map Japan, the USA, the USSR, Ireland and many other states, in order to save and withdraw from the fascist threat of his fellow tribesmen.

Origin

Herzog Yitzhak (born 1888 - the son of Rav Yoel Herzog) was born in the Russian Empire in a city called Lomzhe, later retired to Poland. Ten years later, the family moved to England, as his father was appointed by the rabbi of Leeds. At twenty, Yitzhak received a Jewish letter - a smile. Even in his early years he discovered in himself various talents of the young Yitzhak Aizik Herzog. The biography of the future rabbi is full of numerous trips to England and France, where he, along with studying the Torah, graduated from London and Paris universities. Having finished them, he perfectly mastered such sciences as mathematics, philosophy, and Semitic.

Becoming a Rabbi

After studying thehelp, the permission to which Herzog Yitzhak received in 1914, he was appointed rabbi in the Irish city of Belfast. From here began his ascent on the career ladder in the religious world. Already in 1919, Aizik became Rabbi of Dublin, and even later, in 1925, he was appointed Rabbi of all independent Ireland.

While in this position, Yitzhak Aizik receives a large amount of knowledge, communicating with his fellow tribesmen. In a short time, he won respect from both Jews and non-Jews. The first of its prominent business is the abolition of the ban on slaughter of cattle by the Jews, who so long held in the lands of Ireland.

"The White Book" of the British

During the Second World War, the British government introduced a decree, later called the "White Book", which says (if short) the ban on the presence of more than 75,000 Jews in the British-controlled Palestine for five years. Further entry of Jews is possible only with the consent of the local population (Arabs).

Thus, the White Paper is nothing more than a refusal to help Jews, perceived by the Jewish people themselves as indifference of the British authorities to it. In other words, the salvation doors were closed, and the Jews were left to the Nazi slaughterhouse.

Naturally, England was supported by other countries. For example, the Turkish port refused to land Jewish refugees from the ship Struma, which managed to escape from the clutches of the fascist holocaust. Having held the ship in the port for a long time, the Turkish authorities gave the order to tow it away, which promised death for all its passengers.

The ship was very shabby and was not able to move in the waters, which contributed to its sinking to the bottom. Of the eight hundred, only two survived. According to some reports, it is alleged that the "Struma" was sunk by a Russian submarine that took the ship for a fascist warship.

The Protest of Yitzhak

With the arrival of Churchill for the presidency, the question of abolishing the White Paper was raised at the meeting, but there was no one wishing to abolish the decree, with the exception of one politician who was not politically motivated.

However, not all Jews were left to wait for their death. Formations arose that fought the English resolution, such as Lehi. Their plans were to drive the British out of Eretz Israel, in order to open a passage for Jews to Palestine. But their actions have not been crowned with success. Although many historians claim that these were useless actions. After all, with the departure of the British, the only thing that shone Eretz Israel was the arrival of the Germans.

Duke Yitzhak took an active part in saving the Jewish people in this situation, beginning with numerous conversations with the leaders of the states, including the reception at Churchill and ending with the break of the White Book in half at the entrance to the Yeshurun synagogue.

Helping the Jewish People in the Holocaust

There was not a single European anti-Hitler state that would not have visited Yitzhak Aizik in an attempt to save his people. His biography also includes various trips to the US and southern Africa. He demanded that the US authorities begin bombing the "death camps", in the USSR he achieved a corridor for refugees to Japan and Eretz-Israel. Yitzhak visited Palestine, ignoring numerous exhortations, when Hitler units were about to enter it. At the end of the war, he traveled throughout Europe for a long time, helping to immigrate Jews to Israel, collecting Jewish children for monasteries that sheltered them during the Holocaust.

To this day, in many synagogues, prayers are being sung by Isaac Aizik Herzog.
