A four-pages printed 'leaflet' containing general information about "Moshav Zekenim in Jerusalem" as well as its regulations. An illustration of the building appears on the upper side of the leaf and the verse "Do not cast me off in time of old age" (Psalms 71,9) in German. On the third page appear the institute's regulations: " Statutten des Verein's "Moschab Sekenim" In Jerusalem". The home for the elderly was founded in the Old city of Jerusalem in 1878 as a "Tea-House for the elderly" and developed throughout the years. In 1894 new buildings were constructed and it is possible that this leaflet was printed while the institute was being expanded. [4] pp, 29 cm. Fair-good condition. Folding-marks, stains and minor tears (some fastened with adhesive tape). Bibliographically unknown.
