"מה שכתבתי להאב"ד דמדינת הנובר כמוהר"ר יוסף כ"ץ אושטרודא בענין האשה בעולת בעל שהשכירה שם על הפבריק דטובאק. בעיר צעל". Responsum on Hilchos Yichud regarding a Jewish servant working in a tobacco factory handwritten by the Dayan of Frankfurt am Main, Rabbi Yosef Toib. [Tzel], ca. [1695].
[1] leaf, 10X16 cm. Handwritten and signed by Rabbi Yosef Toib. This Halachic responsum constitutes a historical document indicating the daily schedule and terms of employment of a Jewish servant, married and mother of a child, in a gentile factory in Osterode in the late 17th century in Germany, and the rabbis' concern with observing the laws of Yichud and preventing the woman's defamation. Enclosed is a printed version of the letter and information about its writer and addressee.
