Regulations of the Zichron Moshe Company for construction of homes in Jerusalem. Established in 1904 by the committee for "Commemoration of Sir Moses Montefiore" in London…by the efforts of his delegate Mr. David Yellin, Jerusalem, 1907.
A purchase agreement completed by hand in 1910 (1911?), with signatures of the buyer of the home Gittel Bardaky and the committee heads: Yochanan David Solomon, David Yellin, Yehoshua Meir Reichman, Menachem Mordechai Frankel, etc. At the end of contract are handwritten mortgage agreements, bills and receipts with various signatures.
The Zichron Moshe neighborhood in Jerusalem was established by a group of Zionist-Maskilim and was originally considered one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Throughout the years it evolved into the center of Charedi community life. Today, it throbs with yeshivot and batei midrash and the neighborhood synagogues have around-the-clock minyanim. The Lemel school became a Talmud Torah and all that remains of its founders are the names of the streets encompassing the neighborhood: David Yellin, Yeshayahu Press and R' Yechiel Michel Pines.
