Three leaves in Rabbi Shimshon Refael Hirsch's Own Handwriting (German).
Description of the life of Jewish communities in Germany (Bavaria) and other places (London, Australia, as well as Nablus!).
Apparently, these are notes that Rabbi Hirsch wrote for himself when preparing articles on these subjects which he intended to publish (or published) in the Orthodox periodical "Yeshurun" which he founded and published during 1854-1888, and in which he publicized many of his own writings in German.
Rabbi Shimshon ben Rabbi Refael Hirsch - the Rashar Hirsch (1808-1888), celebrated leader of Orthodox Jewry in Germany and founder of the Separate Communities, disciple of Chacham Breines of Hamburg and Rabbi Ya'akov Etlinger author of Aruch LaNer of Altona. From the age of 22, he began to serve in the rabbinate: in Oldenburg, Emden and Nikolsburg. In 1850, the eleven religious families in Frankfurt am Main called him to head the new Orthodox community Adat Yeshurun. Rabbi Hirsch was the first to stem the steep decline of German Jewry and re-established from scratch the genuine Orthodox Judaism in Germany. His halachic and Torah authority gave him the unparalleled status of leader of religious Jewry in Western Europe. He was very active in establishing Separate Communities in various cities throughout Germany and educated a whole generation to Torah and mitzvoth by his books and articles (Igrot Tzafon, Chorev etc). By his initiative, Rabbi Meir Lehman, Rabbi of Mainz, established the Charedi newspaper "Der Israelite", to which the "Yeshurun" periodical was attached in which Rabbi Hirsch publicized his articles.
