Last Will and Testament Signed by the Community Leaders of Modena - Acquaintances of the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh


Last will and testament from a widow who is bequeathing her assets to her sons who supported her during her lifetime, signed by her and by two witnesses from among the leaders of the Modena community. Arranged in Modena in 1752.


Signatories:


1) The philanthropist Elisha Osilio, whose name is mentioned in a letter from the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh to the administrators of his yeshivah, Midrash Knesset Yisrael, as follows: "Let me know if the philanthropist Sig. Elisha Osilio married as he promised me ..." (Iggerot V'Teshuvot Rabbeinu Chaim ben Attar p. 184). R' Elisha was among the group of people in Italy who promised the Ohr HaChaim while he was in Italy that they would support the yeshivah he established in Jerusalem.

The Osilio (Osilia) family was an old and prominent family in Modena and they had their own synagogue. In 1772, there was a booklet printed in Modena, Hen Kol Chadash, by the author of Zera Emet, on the occasion of the inauguration of the Osilio synagogue in Modena.


2) The philanthropist Yehudah Moshe Orsin - his signature appears on the Modena community regulations (photocopy included).
