Most Elegant Presentation Copy from the Author to Isaac Cardozo Nunes. Kin’ath Tziyon contains the opinions of the great rabbis of Eretz Israel, expressing their outrage at the radical resolutions relating to Jewish prayer and practice passed by the first Reform Rabbinical Conference in Braunschweig in 1844. Represented in this work are: Chaim Abraham Gaguine, Rishon le-Tziyon (Sephardic Chief Rabbi); Yom Tov Elyakim of Hebron; both the Sephardic and Aschkenazic rabbis of Tiberias and Safed; and finally, member of the Beth Din Hagadol of Jerusalem, Moses Israel Chazan (grandson of Raphael Joseph Chazan, the renowned author of Chikrei Lev). See JE, Vol. III, p. 405; Vol. X, p. 308; EJ, Vol. IV, col. 1422
