Shever Poshim – Hebron Kollel Polemic – Jerusalem, 1862
Shever Poshim, documents and polemics on the kollels in Hebron, by R. Yehudah Papo [grandson of the Pele Yoetz]. Jerusalem: R. Yisrael Bak, [1862].
Printed without title page. Title and imprint at top of first page.
The work relates to an episode beginning in 1854 following the appointment of R. Yosef Shalom of Baghdad as director of the city kollels by the residents of Hebron. R. Yosef Shalom refused to offer an accounting of public funds he had received and went so far as to appeal to the British, leading to the jailing of two rabbis. Rabbis of Hebron, Jerusalem, Safed and Tiberias demanded R. Yosef Shalom's removal from public office, and the signatories appear in this booklet.
32, [2] leaves. Approx. 20 cm. Fair-good condition. Many stains. Light wear. Worming, affecting text. New binding.
Sh. Halevy, no. 69.
