Leshana Tova Yikatev Veyechatem – two copies of an elegant lithograph in gold ink. Jerusalem, [1880s]. Printed by Avraham Mose Luntz. In the center appear medallions containing illustrations of holy sites and institutions in Eretz Israel, arranged in the shape of a rose: Rachel’s Tomb, Cave of Machpelah, tomb of Shmuel the Prophet, tombs of kings of the House of David, Tiferet Yisrael synagogue, synagogue and hall of Torah study at the tomb of Rabbi Meir Ba’al Haness, new synagogue constructed upon the ruins of the synagogue of Rabbi Yehudah Hachassid, Sephardic synagogue from period of Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakai. At the top of the leaf is a space to be filled in handwriting, and in the center of the leaf - greetings for good year and a space for signature. The leaves were sent [individually], in 1885, to the assistant and secretary of Moses Montefiore, Dr. Eliezer Halevi, by two residents of Jerusalem (completed in handwriting on leaf): Rabbi Yehudah Leibish Berenstein [Rabbi in Jerusalem, son-in-law of Rabbi Yitzchak David Biederman, among the founders and first Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Chayei Olam], and Rabbi Yisachar Levinson Pinsker [author of Mazkeret Moshe written in honor of Montefiore. Jerusalem, 1885]. Each of the two added a lengthy handwritten letter, on the blank side of the page, in which they request financial assistance for their families [at the head of Levinson’s letter, lamentation on Montefiore, who passed away that year]. Two copies of [1] leaf folded into two. 25 cm. General condition - fair, dry and brittle paper. Wear and tears. One leaf is separated into two at the fold. On the second leaf – a detached snippet on left margin. This leaf is not listed by S. HaLevi or in the Bibliography Institute.
