Notebook of the treasury of the Ohel Torah Yeshiva in Jerusalem. Contains the lists of all office expenses as well as the allotments to Kollel students from 1935-1946.
Beit Midrash Ohel Torah, founded by Rabbi Shmuel Yitzchak Hillman (Author of "Or HaYashar", son-in-law of Rabbi Herzog), and Rabbi Aharon Bialistotzki, one of the first Kollelim for married men in a similar format used for today's Kollelim. The allotments were generous and due to its great demand, only the best Torah students were accepted, most of them alumni of the Chevron Yeshiva and Lithuanian Yeshivot. Many became renowned rabbis. Among them: Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, Rabbi Binyamin Yehoshua Zilber, Rabbi Baruch Yitzchak Levine, Rabbi Shlomo Tene, Rabbi Moshe Tikochinsky and Rabbi Shalom Shvadron and Rabbi Shmuel HaLevi Wosner.
According to the entries in this notebook, it seems that Rabbi Wosner was accepted to the Kollel in Adar Aleph 1940, and in Iyar of the same year Rabbi Elyashiv was accepted to the Kollel and yet from the start Rabbi Elyashiv received the maximum allotment given to the Kollel members.
