Printed Leaf – Compromise between the Emissaries of the Sephardi and Ashkenazi Communities in Jerusalem – Amsterdam, 1822
Printed leaf, compromise contract between the emissaries of the Sephardi community and Ashkenazi community of Jerusalem. Amsterdam: Proops, [1822].
Printed leaf (2 pages) containing a compromise agreement between the Ashkenazi emissary of Jerusalem (Kollel Prushim), R. Avraham Shlomo Zalman (Tzoref), and the Sephardi emissary of Jerusalem, R. Yosef David Ayash, concerning the division of the donations received from Western Europe. At the end of the agreement, the (printed) signatures of the two emissaries appear, as well as the signatures of the "Pekidim and Amarkalim" headed by R. Tzvi Hirsh Lehren of Amsterdam. The agreement is followed by the printed approval of three Ashkenazi rabbis in Holland: R. Shmuel (Bernstein) Rabbi of Amsterdam, R. Yosef Asher Lemel Rabbi of The Hague, R. Eliyahu Tzvi Hirsh Rabbi of Rotterdam (see more about this polemic: A. Morgenstern, First Agreement Made Between the Sephardim and the Prushim in Jerusalem, Asufot, 6, p. 211 onwards).
