Halachic ruling signed by Rabbi Avraham Ashkenazi, emissary of the Tiberias Chassidic Ashkenazi Kollel discussing the tenure of the scribe of one of the communities in the Thessaloniki area, Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 1826.
Following the signed ruling is a halachic responsum (in another handwriting) written after 1827 by one of the community's Torah scholars regarding that community scribe whose deeds are not favorable and he has no privilege and tenure to hold his position.
Rabbi Avraham Ashkenazi, emissary of the Tiberias Chassidic Kollel to Oriental countries during 1798, 1808, 1818 and 1826. On his travels to Turkey and North Africa, he succeeded in finding steady supporters of the Chassidic settlements in the Galilee and in Tiberias. Oriental Torah scholars write his novellae of ethics and Chassidism in their books. This ruling as well portrays Rabbi Ashkenazi's senior stature as a regulator and halachic authority on community matters as usual with Eretz Israel emissaries of those times.
4 pages, 22 cm. Good-fair condition, wear and spotting, wear damages on second leaf.
