Jerusalem: 26th Shevat 1899
A scion of prominent Sephardic families, Haim Guedalla (1815-1904) was an Anglo-Jewish philanthropist whose maternal uncle was Sir Moses Montefiore. An enthusiast of Jewish settlement of Eretz Israel, in the late 1870’s Guedalla proposed that the land be purchased from the Ottomans in exchange for its £250,000,000 debt. Although nothing came of the idea, it followed Guedalla’s earlier success in adventurous foreign policy: In 1869, he persuaded the Spanish government to officially permit the return of Jews.
