Including buyer's premium
Leaf with dozens of signatures on a Heter Me'ah Rabbanim halachic responsum permitting a Holocaust survivor to remarry, after his wife disappeared – and presumably perished – in the Holocaust. Jerusalem, Adar II 1946.
Lacking beginning of responsum, only the final leaf with the conclusion of the responsum and the signatures is present. Typewritten, with handwritten signatures.
Heading the list of signatories are the main dayanim of the Chassidic Beit Din in Jerusalem: R. Yerucham Fishel Bernstein, R. Naftali Tzvi Schmerler and R. Yitzchak HaLevi Reisman. These signatures are followed by some hundred signatures on both sides of the leaf – rebbes, rabbis, and young Torah scholars in Jerusalem (see Hebrew description for more details).
[1] leaf. 33 cm. Printed and handwritten on both sides. Good-fair condition. Stains, creases and folding marks.
