A Request for MAHATZIT HASHEKEL (half a Shekel donation) - Mea She'arim [1900]
A printed paper with a request to donate a MAHATZIT HASHEKEL, on behalf of the 'hospitality house' Eshel Avraham, and the General 'stew House' Mea Shearim in Jerusalem. [1900].
The words on the paper describe the activities of the Hospitality house Eshel Avraham and the stew house, as the right places to take in, all the Travelers and wandering people and provide them with all their needs. Recommendations for these institutes are on the sides of the issue. The recommenders were the rabbis of Jerusalem in those days: Rabbi Shmuel Salant, Rabbi Yitzchak Blazer and Rabbi Chaim Berlin, and recommendations of the Ridvaz and Rabbi Eliyahu M. Panigil, Sephardic Chief Rabbi of the Holy Land.
The Ad was printed by Rabbi Menachem Nachum Katz. At the bottom of the page, in German inscription, it tells that he and his wife worked with great dedication for the improvement of the hospitality house.
Attached is a reception "at the expense of the store wages" for mister Yosef Shalom, dated 5 Dec 1934, signed by Rabbi Yitzchak Yaakov Goldberg, a butcher shop owner in Mea Shearim.
Condition: the Ad in excellent condition and the receipt in good condition. Small tears and folding marks.
