Long response on portions of Talmud dealing with monetary laws, by Rabbi Chaim Sitehon of Safed, sent to Rabbi Moshe Kliers, Ashkenazic Rabbi of Tiberias. Safed, 1918.
At the end, writer mentions monetary issues that had arisen between Drohobycz Kollel in Safed and Rabbi David Segal.
Rabbi Chaim Sitehon (Otzar 6100) served as Rabbi of Safed, author of Eretz HaChaim, son of Rabbi Menashe Sitehon – Rabbi of Aleppo and Safed. Born 1871. His father died when he was 5 years old, and his mother (Ashkenazic) married Rabbi Yitzchak Ya'akov Sulitzer, who raised him as a son. See enclosed material.
The response is written in distinctive Ashkenazi handwriting. (Apparently handwriting of copier. Possibly written by R' Chaim himself, who learned in an Ashkenazi cheider).
According to most bibliographical sources, R' Chaim died in the middle of the first World War, in 1916, but the response before us was written in 1918, which requires an inquiry. [According to Y. Harel, Aretz books, Jerusalem 1997, page 408, he died in 1918].
4 pages. 27 cm. Fair condition, parts missing from upper-right corners, causing omission of very few words of text.
