summary

Certificate attesting to the competence of the “Bachur” Yechiel b. Zalman, both in the theoretical and practical aspects of ritual slaughter. The author makes reference to a previous certificate issued by the Sefardic Bet Din which stated that he “did not faint” (due to the blood). Of historic importance as to the dates of the early Rabbis of the Hambro Synoagogue.
