A letter to the management of Batei Avot. Includes blessings and good wishes: "Have a kosher and happy chag and we should merit immediate salvation and redemptionג€¦".
Rebbe Shlomo Chaim Friedman of Sadigura (1887-1972, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut Volume 3, 1993-1978), called R' Shlomo'neu, son of Rebbe Yisrael of Sadigura. After his father's death in 1907, he was appointed Rebbe when only 19 years old. During World War I, he was exiled to Vienna with the Ruzhin rebbes. There he stepped down from being rebbe in spite of the urging of his Chassidim, to devote himself to public activities to benefit refugees, saying that Vienna has more than enough rebbes but is lacking public askanim (activists). In 1938, he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and settled in Tel Aviv. Renowned for his great humility and widespread activities for Jewish society and love of humanity. His Torah thoughts were compiled in the book "Chayei Shlomo" (Jerusalem 2006).

Printed invoices with handwritten signatures for receipt of distribution from Kollel Bukovina-Otinia, Jerusalem, (1899-1901).
"Here in the Holy City of Jerusalem I have receivedג€¦ 189-, sent to me by the holy Rebbe of Otinia, total ofג€¦". Kollel Bukovina-Otinia was established in Jerusalem as part of an outshoot of the "Kosov Kollel" which split into three Kollels: Vizhnitz, Kosov and Bukovina [later on "Kollel Zibernbergen" and "Kollel Mukachevo" were offshoots as well from the Kollel]. In 1895 the Rebbe Rabbi Chaim Hagar of Otinia (1863-1932), brother of the Rebbe Rabbi Yisrael of Vizhnitz, who also led a large Chassidic congregation in Galicia, was appointed to head the Kollel. For some reason these invoices were printed as a receipt of a distribution from the Rebbe and not from the Kollel, possibly due to some change in the official status of the Bokovina Kollel.
Many known families of Jerusalem are signed: Grossman, Held, Rosenblatt, Baharad, Teper, Kanal, Goldinger, Schertzer, Barzel, Feldman, Klein, Cahana, Eisenstein, Linder and others.
Dozens of leaves, approx. four invoices per column, total of approx. 350 signed invoices. Good-fair condition. Placed within orderly binder.

Signed agreement bill, in preparation for casting lots between the partners for the establishment of the "Shevet Achim" neighborhood adjacent to "Zichron Tuvia". Jerusalem, (1891).
Thirteen signatures which include: Yosef Rivlin; Yehudah Leib ---; Bechor Raphael Ashkenazi; Avraham Ya'akov ---; Avraham Yitzchak HaLevi; Liber Garfinkel; Getzel Sheinin; Moshe Kantrowitz.
The plot of land of the "Shevet Achim" neighborhood was purchased together with the plot of the adjacent neighborhood "Zichron Tuvia" [across the "Sha'arei Tzedek" hospital on Jaffa Street], with the participation of Jews of all sects, and therefore the neighborhood was named Shevet Achim after the verse "Hineh Ma Tov U'Ma Na'im Shevet Achim Gam Yachad". [Founder of the neighborhood, Rabbi Yosef Rivlin would eloquently say that "Shevet Achim" is an acronym of: Shfanionis, Baghdadis, Yemenites, Urfanians, Halabis, Greeks, and Maghrebis]. It is interesting that most of the land owners signed in this letter are Ashkenazis from Jerusalem.
Leaf 25.5 cm. Good-fair condition, mildew damage.
