Two letters – Correspondence between Rabbi A.L. Zilberman of Tzefat and the Sephardic Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Ben-Zion Meir Chai Uziel – 1941
Letter dated the 11th of Tammuz, 1941, handwritten by Rabbi Avraham Leib Zilberman to the Sephardic Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Ben-Zion Meir Chai Uziel. The letter includes a list of Torah scholars and widows whose names were drawn in a lottery and won the annual support of the Sir Montefiore Hekdesh fund.
On the letter itself, Rabbi Uziel handwrote his response, and it is typed (with minor changes) in the second letter that we have, dated the 13th of Tammuz, 1931, signed by Rabbi Uziel. He responds that the division of the funds is no longer under his authority, and he suggests that Rabbi Zilberman contact those responsible for the support funds, located in London.
Rabbi Ben Zion Meir Chai Uziel (1880-1953) was the Rishon LeTzion and the first Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel.
Rabbi Avraham Leib Zilberman (1849-1948), was the grandson of Rabbi Refael Zilberman and the Chief Rabbi of Tzefat for 30 years.
Size: 21x28 cm, 14x21 cm.
