A Manuscript - Kise D'Birkata, a book composed of copies of letters of blessings sent to Rabbi Chaim Chizkiyahu Medini, author of Sde Chemed, on his appointment to Rabbi of Hebron in 1901. Scribe writing in Rashi script. Has letters of blessing and poems of praise to the author of Sde Chemed. The letters were copied into a pamphlet, by the Sde Chemed's private scribe, and at the top of the pages the title Kisa D'Birkata. Possibly, the pamphlet was prepared to be printed. On the first page are three lines in different handwriting (perhaps, of the Sde Chemed).
Some of the writers are scholars of Jerusalem, Tiberias and Jaffa [amongst them: Rabbi Shmuel Salant, Rabbi Chaviv Chaim David Sithon, Rabbi Naftali Hirtz HaLevi, Rabbi Eliyahu Moshe Panezil, Rabbi Chizkiyahu Shabtei, Rabbi Rachamim Yosef Chaim Optalka, Rabbi Aharon Yedid HaLevi], a gabai and manager of Jerusalem institutes [Etz Chaim Yeshiva, Ma'arivi'im Community Committee, Misgav Ladach Hospital, Rabbi Chaim Michel Michlin], and rabbis from other lands [Rabbi David Pifano Rabbi of Sofia, Rabbi Eliyahu Chazan of Alexandria]. Likewise, letters by his disciples in the Krimshak communities in the Crimea Peninsula [including Rabbi Avraham Nissim Ashkenazi, Rabbi Refael Labak etc.], and a long letter from his father in law, Rabbi Nissim Levi of Tzachtzir who describes the impressive ceremony in the Beit HaKnesset to honor the appointment of the Sde Chemed in Hebron. This pamphlet is unknown and apparently has never been printed.
[29] written pages (apparently one leaf is missing at the end). C. 18 cm. Good-fair condition. Fungus stains, restored tear on first leaf. New semi-leather binding.
