Transcribed from the clipping

“The Chief Rabbi of Turkey sent an open letter to the government in which he disavows any relationship of the Jews of Turkey with the plans for a Jewish state in Palestine which is advocated by Jews of Russia and of America.”

Context added by this archive

Eight weeks before the Balfour Declaration. Not American or European Jews weighing assimilation, but the Jews already living under the sovereignty the plan proposed to break up — and their Chief Rabbi, in an open letter to his own government.
