Tenaim. Engagement Contract between Gella, the daughter of Rabbi Elchanan Rosenstein, Dayan of Berlin and Daniel Fraenkel.

Traditional formula with various conditions and signatures of witnesses including R. Yaakov Yoseph ben Harav Mordechai (Oettinger), the senior Dayan and Rosh Yeshiva in Berlin (see Otzar HaRabbanim no. 10096). Both Rabbi Oetttinger and the father of the bride, Rabbi Elchanan Rosenstein, Dayan of Berlin (see Otzar HaRabbanim no. 2020), gave many approbations on books published during this time. The father of the bride states here he will provide a dowry of 1000 Reichsthaler by the day of the wedding. His signature and the bridegroom’s signature also appear at the bottom of this contract, “Leyether Tokef” (for greater validity).
