Kol MeHeichal. Proclamation against "those who ascend without permits", printed signatures of "The heads and managers of the community of Ashkenazim". Jerusalem, Adar 1873.
The proclamation was written in opposition to the Ma'apalim (illegal immigrants) to Eretz Israel "against the wish of Torah scholars" that by doing so are stealing from the city's Jews who live from the "Chaluka". The proclamation cautions against this unsupervised immigration and threatens that the unauthorized immigrants will not be privileged to receive monetary support from the "Chaluka" funds and will be subject to poverty and risk of death.
Leaf, 35 cm. Good condition, folding marks, few stains.
Bibliographically unknown. Not listed in the Bibliography Institute nor by Shoshana HaLevi. Does not exist in the National Library of Israel.
