Manuscript, ledger of Tiberias Torah institutions – General Torah School and Orphanage, and the Or HaChaim yeshiva. Tiberias, [1914].

Elaborate ledger, in gilded and colored calligraphy, prepared for an emissary (Shadar). At the beginning is a decorated title page. The ledger contains a detailed account of the institutions' details and statutes, the Torah school, orphanage and yeshiva, expenses, rights of donors, and more. After that appears a lengthy letter (in Hebrew) to philanthropists, from the directors of the Torah school and yeshiva, with stamps of the institutions and signatures of three rabbis: R. Raphael Vivas, R. Moshe Avraham Chamoi and R. Yosef Yaloz. An additional letter in Ladino, with signatures and stamps of the same three directors. From leaf [14] onwards are tables for lists of donors (the list is blank, as well as the rest of the leaves).
