Rabbi Yosef Hayim Sonnenfeld's Signature on Membership Certificate
Large colorful membership certificate, with gilded illustrations, for "Beit Mahaseh Li-Yetomim", Jerusalem, 1929. Presented to Mr. Zvi Ben Rabbi Yitzhak Ha-Levi Laski and to Mrs. Hannah Gittel Bat Rabbi Aharon Shlomo of Chicago. Writing is in Hebrew. Printed by A. L. Monzon Printing, Jerusalem.
The certificate's center bears signatures of Rabbis, some of them in ink-stamps, not in handwriting. Rabbi Yosef Haim Sonnenfeld's is hand signed. Member's regulations are written on both sides, in Yiddish.
Rabbi Yosef Haim Sonnenfeld was born in 1849 in Slovakia, and was educated by Torah giants, among them the Ktav Sofer. Emigrated to Jerusalem in 1873, and served as the first Rabbi of the Orthodox community in Jerusalem. Died in 1932.
Large single page, 59.5x50 cm. Folding lines, creases and tears to edges.
