The Ezrat Cholim Society was founded in Tel Aviv in 1924 by a number of devoted public activists headed by Moshe ben Ezra and by Eliyahu Algazi. Later the primary activist was the Chacham Rabbi Bechor Ya'akov Papula, secretary of the Chief Rabbinate in Tel Aviv (see: Shevet V'Am 7, p. 173). Its first president was the Rishon L'Zion Rabbi Ben Zion Meir Chai Uziel. The poet Ya'akov Rimon served as the society's secretary for many years. R' Ezra Cohen Pirchia, father of Kabbalist Rabbi Chaim Cohen, called the "milkman" was among the society's members and his signature appears on quite a few protocols from 1929.
At the beginning of the first notebook is the first protocol in which the founding of the society was determined. After a while, Eliyahu Algazi acquired a structure on 18 Zevulun St. where he established an infirmary with modern equipment and competent doctors (see inside these ledgers and in the Encyclopedia of the Founders and Builders of Israel, Vol. 13, p. 4280). These notebooks contain historical material of the chronicles of the Sephardi community in the Tel Aviv.
4 large notebooks, 21-27 cm. Good condition.
