Signed by the dayanim Rabbi Yosef Lederberger, rav"d,  and Rabbi Avraham Moshe Rapaport, along with the beit din seal. At the time,  there were many hesitations regarding tea on Passover, because sometimes cooked tea leave were reused.In addition, two letters in Hebrew and German were printed for the community rabbis.
