Manuscript of a prayer to be recited over Rav Israel’s grave [Italy – Ancona?, 1885?].
“This prayer was initiated by the Chief Rabbi of Tirano to be read over the grave of the holy Rabbi Israel”. The prayer begins with the words “Dear Eternal Father… Look from the Skies and See with Mercy” and mentions “The great and holy Rabbi Chaim Avraham Yaakov Israel, who is buried at this site”.
This prayer was apparently initiated [by Rabbi Daniel Tirano?] to be recited upon the grave of Rabbi Chaim Avraham Israel, Rabbi of Ancona, of the greatest sages of his generation (1715-1785), son of Rabbi Moshe Israel, Av Beit Din of Rhodes and author of the “Mas’at Mosheh”. He served in the Candia (Crete) and No-Amon (Alexandria) Rabbinical Offices, and served from 1774 as rabbi of Ancona Italy for over twenty years. His books: “Beit Avraham” and “Amarot Tehorot” on the Shulchan Aruch were printed after his passing. See enclosed material about him.
