This booklet provides names of donors and amounts donated to a Relief Fund for the benefit of the Jews of Aleppo and Jerusalem. The Honorary President of the organization was Rabbi Eliahou Shammah (1881-1934), who thereafter moved to Jerusalem, where he became one of the founders of the Yeshivat Porat Yosef. See D.
