Two piskei din (Torah law decisions) in the handwriting of Rabbi Alexander Sender, Rabbi of Paderborn and Westfalia (Northern Germany). 1772.
One of the decisions was sent to the "heads of the community who dwell in Zalsch-Katz…". The decisions show the absolute status of a Jewish rabbi in those days: "the strength of my order to fine and forbid shechita to the sheliach tzibbur and the sho'chet u'vodek… ". At that time in northern Germany, the Jews were scattered in villages and a district rabbi was appointed over all the small communities. Both decisions have his signature: "Alexander Sender in the state of P. B. [Paderborn] and Lipa [Westfalia]".
Hebrew and Yiddish.
[2] leaves [3 written pages]. Varied size, good condition, stains and folding marks.
