Limud VeSeder HaYeshivah Asher Be’Ir HaKodesh Chevron [Prayer on behalf of donors to the Yeshivah Knesseth Yisrael of the Holy City of Hebron]

An Eighteenth-Century Document Linking the Holy Land and the Jews of the New World. Details the schedule and method of study undertaken by the Yeshiva Knesseth Yisrael of Hebron. Specifies the regulations to which resident scholars must abide, including specific prayers before study. The wording of the broadside is most subtle; by no means does it directly plead for monetary funding. Nevertheless a list of Western European cities are listed in which the Yeshiva’s emissary was to visit. - Most surprising, is the final port of call - “Ha’Amerika.” See related article, A. Yaari, Kiryath Sefer (1948), pp.113-25.
