Lot of three Yiddish manuscripts.
1. Manuscript: Unique azkara prayer in Yiddish. Rota, 1855.
“With the ratzon of the individual Hashem will bless his name” – a unique manuscript with an azkara prayer in Yiddish, pretty sofer script, written by Yaakov ben Hirsch Groschut. The wording is unique, we couldn’t find it in other places.
28 lines, 35x22cm. Light stains, creases, light wear, good condition.
2. Unique and exciting item: manuscript of a bar mitzvah drasha in Yiddish from a Jewish boy in Europe before the Shoah.
Large manuscript, 16 pages, on Tefillin on Shabbos and Yom Tov, written in clear, simple language, seems to have been prepared for reading in front of a community, probably during a bar mitzvah. Russia-Poland, beginning of the 20th century.
The long manuscript has pilpul and describes the halachot of tefillin, and is filled with original vocabulary by a young person: “And later is a kasha to the Maharshal… Will you say that … but it can be changed … We will see .. In any case we will see about it”
Unique item on Jewish life in Europe before the Shoah. 16 pages, missing the end. Stains, partially missing last leaf, worming damage and tears mainly in the last three leaves, fair to good condition.
3. “May it be that the above uncircumcised fall soon”—a unique letter in which non-Jewish names are listed with a request that they experience a fall soon. Nisca (Galicia), 1929
“One is named Jozef ben Tekla yimach shmo”—a long letter handwritten by Rabbi Eliyahu Issachar Lieblich of Niska, in Galicia, to administrators of the Talmud Torah Klalit in Tzfat. In the letter, the rabbi requests that they pray on behalf of his relative, a widow suffering from abuse by non-Jews residing in her village. Rabbi Eliyahu details their names and asks that they suffer a downfall soon. “In the kfar there are 3 shekatzim, yimach shmam, one named Jozef ben Tekla, the second Yoshe ben Wiechte, the third Wotshek ben Koshe, scaring the widow…may it be that the above uncircumcised fall greatly soon!…I also request(!) that you pray for me that my neighbor Franzishke Porzia bat Kotorziga suffers a fall (miscarriage?) soon because she causes us great tzaros…”.
Unique item, 14x22cn, filing holes, good condition.
