Autograph Letter Signed, on headed paper. Top paragraph written by Rabbi Kook in a Sephardic script, with the signature of Joseph Tzvi Ha-Levi, Rosh Beth Din of Jaffa, stating an agreement had been reached with two Georgian families who obligated themselves to give a Get upon payment of 45 Napoleons as compensation. It would seem a later dispute arose, and the Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Petach Tikva, Aaron Orliansky reconfirms in an autographed signed statement that the parties agree to the terms. A further autograph signed attestation by Rabbi Kook, this time written in an Ashkenazic script, verifies the signature of Rabbi Orliansky.Also includes signatures and stamp of the Chassidic Beth Din of Jerusalem and Nachman Betito, Rishon Le-Zion of Jerusalem
