R. Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld (1849-1932), spiritual leader of Orthodox Jewry in Eretz Israel. Outstanding Torah scholar, a wise and holy man. Disciple of the Ketav Sofer in the Pressburg yeshiva, and of R. Avraham Schag Rabbi of Kobersdorf. He immigrated to Jerusalem in 1873 together with his teacher R. Avraham Schag, and was renowned as one of its leading Torah scholars. He was also reputed for his righteousness and holiness, and was zealously involved in communal and charity matters, operating with great wisdom. When R. Yehoshua Leib Diskin immigrated to Jerusalem in 1879, R. Yosef Chaim cleaved to him, becoming his close disciple and head of his Beit Din. He was the Maharil's right-hand man in the battle against the Christian mission and the Haskala movement, which threatened the old Yishuv in Jerusalem. In 1919-1921, the separate community of Eida HaChareidit of Ashkenazi communities was established, and R. Yosef Chaim was appointed the first rabbi of the Eida HaChareidit earning the title of Mara D'Ara DeYisrael.

Letter signed by 49 notables of the Kurdish community in Jerusalem, addressed to the Rishon LeTzion R. Yaakov Meir. Jerusalem, Kislev 1931.
Polemic letter against a proclamation which the Sephardi Shochetim in Jerusalem issued with the approval of the chief rabbi. In the proclamation, the Sephardi Shochetim had accused their Kurdish counterparts of improper slaughtering, thereby causing the public to sin by consuming "nevelot and terefot". The Kurdish community refute their accusations in this letter, stating that the Kurdish shochet "Ch. Shmuel Baruch son of R. Yosef" had been ordained by R. Ben Tzion Cuenca of Jerusalem and R. Yaakov Chai Labaton of Tiberias, who had attested that "his slaughtering is kosher and whoever eats from his produce has nothing to fear". They further disprove the contentions of the Sephardi Shochetim regarding the "encroachment on their rights", and write that this claim alone proves that at the crux of this whole affair are just politics and ethnic persecution: "…and this is our claim, doesn't each community have the rights, whether in matters of Shechita or other communal matters…".
[1] leaf. 28 cm. Good condition. Stains, creases and folding marks.
