KOSSOWSKY, YITZCHOK (1877-1951).
Typed Letter Signed written in Hebrew on letterhead to Rabbi Menahem Papo.
Johannesburg, South Africa, Sunday, Parshath Vayigash, 1945.
Rabbi Menachem (Manfred) Papo (1898-1966) was the rabbi of the Rhodes Sephardic community in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now, Zimbabwe). This unique community in Rhodesia was constituted via a wave of immigration from the Greek island of Rhodes earlier in the 20th century. Viennese-born Papo was the rabbi of this community from 1944 until his retirement in 1963.
