“Yevarekhekha Hashem Mi Tzion”, a letter printed for the Daghestan immigrants in Jerusalem. Jerusalem, (C. 1890).
A fundraising for “the Jewish immigrants from Daghestan, who left their homeland to come and live in Jerusalem… A full community of poor and elderly with their hunger stricken children… We have no support and no one to care for us, the Ashkenazi community claims they’ve never received any donations from Daghestan and the Sepharadi community says they don’t know us and wonder why we turn to them for help.”
The immigrants from Daghestan [located North West to the Caspian sea, on the East side of Gruzia (Georgia)] weren’t included in the kollelim help packages for the Jerusalem poor, since they are neither Sephardim nor Ashkenazim.
