The 'Da'at Sofer' of Pressburg's Membership Certificate of the Edah Chareidit, 1938
'Membership certificate' no. 50/51, of the gaon Rabbi Akiva Sofer, author of Da'at Sofer, of Pressburg, to the 'Va'ad HaIr L'Kehillat HaAshkenazim B'Ir HaKodesh Yerushalayim' (previous name of the 'Edah Chareidit'). The certificate was granted to him for his ascent to the Land of Israel. It is signed by the members of the 'Va'ad HaIr L'Kehillat HaAshkenazim B'Ir HaKodesh Yerushalayim' and with the council's stamp. Historic document.
Rabbi Akiva Sofer [1878-1960], final rabbi of Pressburg, and the fourth link in the golden chain of Pressburg rabbis - a rabbinate which was passed down from father to son, from the 'Chatam Sofer,' to his son the 'Ktav Sofer,' and then to his grandson, the 'Shevet Sofer,' and to his great-grandson the 'Da'at Sofer.'
[1] paper sheet. 31x42 cm. The certificate was printed and illustrated in blue and red. The Da'at Sofer's details are filled out in scribal script in black and red. Fine condition. Blemishes in the right margins without damage to text.
