Manuscript, rulings pertaining to the Eiruv of the Verona (Italy) congregation, by Rabbi Menachem Neveira, Rabbi Eliyahu Yisrael, Rabbi Ya’akov Ashkenazi Di Corona and Rabbi Ya’akov Chazak. 1765.
Illustrated manuscript, fine scribe writing in Italian Rashi letters, with impressive ornaments in Rococo style. Title page contains illustration of Star of David, symbol of priesthood, and two lions grasping a turret. The opening lines of the manuscript are directed towards the community leaders and describe the problem of the Eiruv in the city of Verona which is surrounded with a river on one side; the community members who repeatedly backslide every Shabbat and holiday while carrying throughout the streets of the city and the the Halachic solution which the former Rabbi of Verona, Rabbi Chizkiya Mordechai Bassan, proposed. The writer, Rabbi of Verona and grandson of Rabbi Bassan, presents his intention to reconstruct the Eiruv of the city; presents his ruling and the rulings of additional rabbis regarding this matter, and mentions, among the rest, the obligation of the community leaders “to plead before the King and request from him to allow the Eiruv…”.
Following this, two introductory poems as well as a summary in Italian are presented. Later on, the version of the special Eiruv of the city of Verona is presented.
Following leaves contain lengthy Halachic ruling by Rabbi Menachem Neveira regarding the Eiruv of Verona; Halachic rulings by two emissaries from Jerusalem who happened to arrive in Verona and approved of the ruling of Rabbi Neveira: Rabbi Eliyahu Yisrael (1715-1784, author of Kol Eliyahu, Rabbi in Alexandria, Egypt) who signs: “… Rabbi of Jerusalem signing here in Verona…”. And Rabbi Ya’akov Ashkenazi Di Corona (passed away in 1769, among the well-known scholars of Jerusalem) who signs: “Young emissary of Jerusalem…”; additional ruling by Rabbi Ya’akov Chazak (disciple of the Ramchal), Rabbi of adjacent Padua. This rulings consist of Halachic material of significant content and important details regarding the Italian congregations during that period.
Manuscript concludes with description of the Eiruv which was erected “After being granted permission… from the esteemed governor of the city and after the Eiruv has become publicized in synagogue before the Jewish congregation, from now on we are permitted to carry objects which are necessary for us on Shabbat…”, along with detailed regulations of how to conduct oneself after the erection of the Eiruv.
The Torah scholar and physician Rabbi Menachem Neveira (1717-1777), rabbi and Halachic authority in Verona, author of Yemei Temimim and additional books. His Halachic responsa was printed in section 2 of the book Pnei Yitzchak by his rabbi and grandfather Rabbi Mordechai Chizkiya Bassan (Mantua 1744). The Kabbalist Rabbi Emanuel Chai Riki refers to him as (in the approbation to Pnei Yitzchak): “The prominent person of wholesome character, righteous and humble philanthropist, glorious scholar and physician…”.

Manuscript, authorization of receipt of donation by “Eretz Israel Contribution Fund” of Ferrara (Italy) congregation. By “… emissaries of the Holy City of Jeruslaem…” – Rabbi Yom Tov (Maharit) Algazi and Rabbi Ya’akov Chazan. Ferrara, [1772].
Two rabbinical signatures in calligraphic curly Oriental handwriting: “Yom Tov Algazi” and “Ya’akov Chazan”. The donation of the members of the Ferrara congregation is noted, as well as details regarding the money which the signing rabbis received for the journey, along with greetings to the members of the community.
The Ga’on Kabbalist Rabbi Yom Tov [Maharit] Algazi (1727-1802, Otzar HaRabbanim 7916), among the scholars of Jerusalem and associate of the Chida. Son of Rabbi Yisrael Ya’akov Algazi who served as chief rabbi of Jerusalem. Disciple of Rabbi Yona Navon author of Nechpa BaKesef and disciple of Rabbi Shalom Sharabi in the Beit Kel Kabbalist Yeshiva. Between 1770-1775 was sent as emissary of Jerusalem to European countries, together with his associate Rabbi Ya’akov Chazan, who was also among the scholars of Jerusalem (passed away in 1802, Otzar HaRabbanim 9631). During the course of their journey they passed through Turkey, Italy, France, Holland, Germany, Poland, and additional countries in Europe and North Africa. During this journey the Maharit Algazi discovered the manuscript of laws of Nedarim and Bechorot by the Ramban and later on printed it together with his famous commentary Hilchot Yom Tov. While they were in Frankfurt am Main the Chatam Sofer saw him and enthusiastically wrote regarding him and his composition: “I formerly knew him, when he was sent as emissary to Am Main… and the city was glowing from his honor, however he did not receive half the honor of which he is worthy; apparently from this composition on laws of Yom Tov on Bechorot… and from the composition of the Mishneh LaMelech a composition such as this one has never been seen”. Upon his return to Jerusalem the Maharit Algazi was appointed as successor of Rabbi Shalom Sharabi as Rosh Yeshiva of the Beit Kel Kabbalist Yeshiva and in 1782 was appointed as chief rabbi. Aside from the abovementioned composition, he also composed the books: Simchat Yom Tov, Kedushat Yom Tov, Yom Tov Derabanan, and more.
Rabbi Chananel Nepi stated in reference to the Maharit Algazi: “I was fortunate to know him and he had the appearance of a divine angel”. Apparently, this was during his visit in Ferrara in 1772, when he signed this document.
