Tosefet Ketubah - Safed, 1861 - Signed by Dayanim Rabbi Mordechai Zilberman Rabbi of Uman, Rabbi Baruch Kahana and Rabbi Yaakov Moshe of Kosiv
Handwritten document, tosefet ketubah from R. Moshe Tzvi son of R. Yisrael, to his wife Yenta daughter of R. Yitzchak Yaakov, signed by two witnesses and three dayanim. Safed, Sivan 1861. The dayanim who signed the document: R. "Yaakov Moshe of Kosiv", R. "Mordechai of Uman", and R. "Baruch Kahana". R. Mordechai (R. Motye) Zilberman (1819-1872) served as rabbi of Uman, succeeding his father-in-law R. Avraham Leib (rabbi of Uman in the time of R. Nachman of Breslov). In 1850, R. Mordechai immigrated to Eretz Israel, and served as dayan in the Beit Din of R. Shmuel Heller in Safed and in the Tiberias Beit Din. His son was R. Refael Zilberman, who served as rabbi of Safed and was the progenitor of a dynasty of Safed rabbis, the Zilberman and Kaplan families. R. Yaakov Moshe was a posek in Kuty and Kosiv. He later immigrated to Eretz Israel and served in the Safed Beit Din. He exchanged halachic correspondence with R. Shlomo Drimmer Rabbi of Skala (Galicia), and responsa which R. Yaakov Moshe received from R. Shlomo Drimmer during the 1860s were printed in his book Beit Shlomo. R. Baruch Kahana was also a dayan in Safed in the 1860s (a dayan named R. Baruch David Kahana of Vishnitza - author of Chibat HaAretz and of Birkat HaAretz, also served as dayan in Safed during a later period. The later R. Baruch Kahana was only born around 1850, immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1868 and died in Safed in 1921. Many Safed chroniclers erroneously confused these two rabbis). [1] leaf. 27.5 cm.
