The Ezras Torah〔''Der Morgen Journal'' - August 29, 1915 - רבנים קאנפערענץ נעהמט אן פלענער צו העלפן מלחמה קרבנות〕 Fund was founded on August 25, 1915 (15 Elul, 5675) at a meeting in Congregation Mishkan Israel in the Lower East Side of New York. The meeting was conducted by members of the Agudas HaRabbanim and the Vaad HaRabbanim of New York.〔''Sefer HaZikaron'' p. 3〕 It was an outgrowth of the Central Relief Committee (CRC) that was created to assist Orthodox Jews in Europe during World War I. The CRC had been founded in late 1914 by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America with much help from the aforementioned rabbinical organizations. Ezras Torah’s role was to specifically assist town rabbis, roshei yeshiva, and yeshivas during the upheaval years of World War I. They eventually broadened their scope to a worldwide level after the war. The founding leadership of Ezras Torah was composed of Rabbi Israel Rosenberg, Rabbi Dr. Philip Klein (aka Hillel HaKohen) and Rabbi Yaakov Eskolsky. Rabbi Rosenberg was president until his passing in 1956. Rabbi Klein was treasurer until his passing in 1926. Rabbi Eskolsky was secretary until 1928. The personality who would be most prominently associated with Ezras Torah was Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Henkin. He served as the director of Ezras Torah from the summer of 1925 until his passing in 1973. ==Leadership (1915 - present)== ImageSize = width:1200 height:auto barincrement:20 PlotArea = left:260 bottom:60 top:10 right:50 Alignbars = justify DateFormat = mm/dd/yyyy Period = from:01/01/1915 till:12/31/2015 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal format:yyyy Colors = id:President value:red legend:Chairman/President id:Honorary value:claret legend:Honorary_President id:Treasurer value:teal legend:Treasurer id:Secretary value:darkblue legend:Secretary id:Director value:blue legend:Director id:VaadMember value:gray(0.7) legend:Vaad_Member Legend = orientation:horizontal position:bottom ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:5 start:01/01/1915 BarData = bar:Rosenberg text:"Rabbi Israel Rosenberg (Jan 1916 - Jan 26, 1956)" bar:Klein text:"Rabbi Hillel Klein (Aug 25, 1915 - Mar 21, 1926)" bar:Eskolsky text:"Rabbi Yaakov Eskolsky (Aug 25, 1915 - Mar 1928)" bar:Epstein text:"Rabbi Baruch Epstein (1924)" bar:Henkin text:"Rabbi Yosef E.
