Will sent by Rabbi Shraga Meir Lazarowitz to members of his "Hevrat Shas" community in London, Jerusalem, 1925. Typewritten and signed in his handwriting. Rabbi Shraga Meir Lazarowitz was born in Kelm, and served as rabbi of Hevrat Shas community in London from approx 1890. In his old age he emigrated to Jerusalem, where he died in 1929. When living in Jerusalem, he sent a long will to his London community, in which he writes "it is my request that one of you read these words [to everyone], in Yiddish, in the study hall… before my departure I requested that you appoint a new Rabbi, great in Torah and in Fear of Heaven, and you promised you would, but you have not yet fulfilled the promise… they do not wish to have a Rabbi who is a greater scholar than they…" Rabbi Shraga Meir was close to the Lithuanian giants of Musar and Kabbalah: Rabbi Leib Hasid of Kelm, Rabbi Shlomo Elyashuv "Ba'al Ha-Leshem", Rabbi Aharon Shmuel Maharil – author of "To'ameiha Hayim Zachu", Rabbi Yitzhak Meltzan and Rabbi Aryeh Leib Lipkin of Kartinga – author of Klalei Hatchalat Ha-Hochma (together, they published the Vilna Ga'on's book "Imrei No'am"). After Rabbi A. L. Lipkin's passing, Rabi Shraga Meir published the former's book "Hidushei Agadot Mahara'al" together with his composition "Shraga Di-Nehora".
