A document signed by Rabbi Zvi Pesach Frank certifying Rabbi Zvi Pesach Frank is an honest man! – 1927 – rare
A Document of the Ashkenazi Beth Din of Jerusalem, signed by Rabbi Zvi Pesach Frank and Rabbi Eliyahu Re'em.
The letter is evidence of the birth of Lev Ben David Starik in 1906, and that he and his mother Esther are Ottoman subjects (probably for having British authorities recognizing their citizenship). The document is handwritten on the official paper of the Beth Din of the Ashkenazi community in Jerusalem, and at the end a stamp of the BADATZ and handwritten signatures of the head of the Beth Din Rabbai Frank and the Dayan Rabbi Re'em.
At the bottom of the document there is printed, a rare and interesting addition: confirmation of the honesty of Rabbi Frank, apparently to validate the document for the gentile authorities.

Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank (1873 - 1961) was one of the greatest Halakhic arbiter of the previous generation. Served as a member of Rabbi Shmuel Salant Beth Din from 1908.

Parts of his many writings were published dozens of volumes of books 'Shut Har Tzvi','Mikraei Kodesh', 'Mikdash Melech' and more.

Rabbi Eliyahu Re'em, one of the geniuses of Jerusalem, became famous shkida He later served as head of the Jerusalem Beth Din, head of the shov"im in Jerusalem.
