A letter given to Emissary Rabbi Yehuda Nechmad, signed by Torah scholars and rabbis of Tiberias. Tiberias, 1831. On reverse side of leaf is a letter of appointment of Rabbi Avraham Entebbe, signed by Rabbi Yehuda Nechmad, with a handwritten and signed addition by Rabbi Chaim Nissim Abulafia. Damascus, [1831?]. Rabbi Yehuda Nechmad was sent as an emissary to Syria and Aleppo. The Tiberias scholars equipped him with a letter describing the hard-pressed state of the city's Jewish population due severe drought: "Because of our sins, during this leap year there was anger and fury and distress because G-d did not send rain to the land… to bring forth bread from the earth… and the famine is severe in this land… The poor, orphans and widows and some of the Torah scholars are cheerless and hungry and there are over 100 people that do not have bread to eat, babies ask for bread and nobody provides them…". Signed by: Rabbi Eliezer Ebn Denan, Rabbi Chaim Duweck HaCohen, Rabbi Shlomo Alfasi, Rabbi Shmuel Bachar Alkalai, Rabbi Moshe Ben Simchon, Rabbi Ya'akov Toledano and Rabbi Tzion Bonan. Due to old age and illness, Rabbi Yehuda Nechmad was not able to continue his mission and go from Damascus to Allepo. Therefore, he appointed Rabbi Avraham Antebi, in writing, together with Rabbi Matlov Menashe Sithon and Rabbi Yitzchak Shalom. At the end of the writ of appointment, Rabbi Chaim Nissim Abulafia who was then in Damascus added a number of lines in honor of Rabbi Yehuda Nechmad who served under him in the Tiberias rabbinate [Rabbi Chaim Abulafia, 1795-1861. Rabbi of Tiberias, in 1856 he was crowned the "Rishon L'Tzion" in Jerusalem]. Rabbi Yehuda Nechmad (died 1847, Otzar HaRabbanim 7031), a leading Tiberias rabbi, member of the beit din of Rabbi Chaim Nissim Abulafia, left as an emissary of the city of Tiberias in 1803 to Morocco. 30 years later, he left to fulfill the mission detailed above [this mission was unknown to Avraham Ya'ari and is not listed in his book "Sheluchei Eretz Yisrael" – see attached material]. One leaf. 30 cm. Fair condition, two coarse tears in leaf center with damage to text, stains and wear. An expert's authorization is attached.
