Letter written by a scribe and signed by the Aderet - R. "Eli. David Rabinowitz Teomim son of R. Binyamin". [Jerusalem, Cheshvan 1902].
Kashrut certificate for the wines produced by the Baron Rothschild winery in Rishon LeTzion. The Aderet reports of his recent tour of the winery, on 13th-14th Elul 1902. During the visit, he learned of the excellent kashrut standards in place, established by the kashrut supervisor R. Yosef HaLevi, based on the instructions of the latter’s father R. Naftali Hertz HaLevi Rabbi of Jaffa. The Aderet writes that he personally performed all the required tithing on the produce - Teruma Gedola, Maaser Rishon, Terumat Maaser "and Maaser Ani, as is required in the past year 1902, which is the sixth year… we tithed everything in accordance with the Torah law".
The Aderet recommends drinking wine produced in Eretz Israel: "…our brethren wherever they reside should drink happily, and remember our holy country for the good, for blessing and for happiness…".
R. Eliyahu David Rabinowitz Teomim - the Aderet (1845-1905), was the rabbi of Ponevezh (Panevėžys), Mir and Jerusalem. He was renowned from his childhood for his love of Torah and diligent Torah study, for his righteousness and refined character traits. At a young age, he was already recognized as an exceptional Torah scholar, with knowledge of the entire Torah, and produced brilliant Torah novellae. He was appointed rabbi of Ponevezh as a young man, a position he held for twenty years, after which he became rabbi of Mir. In 1901, he accepted the summons of R. Shmuel Salant, the aged rabbi of Jerusalem, to succeed him as rabbi of Jerusalem. In 1905, approximately four years after immigrating to Jerusalem, the Aderet passed away at the age of 62, during the lifetime of R. Shmuel Salant (who passed away in 1909 at the age of almost 100). He left behind more than 100 manuscript compositions, most of which were not published.
His son-in-law was R. Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook, who served as rabbi of Jaffa and the colonies from 1904. He was later appointed chief rabbi of Jerusalem and Eretz Israel.
