“Reformation of the laws for the governing of the Old Age Home Mishkeneth Zequenim, instituted in the city of Amsterdam… Revised and approved by the very illustrious Senhores of the Mahamad.” (The Mahamad was a council of laymen that governed the affairs of the Portuguese community of Amsterdam.). The Mishkeneth Zequenim Home for the Elderly was one of the earliest Jewish institutions of its kind. Includes here a prayer in Hebrew and Portuguese (p. 26) on behalf of the founders and administrators of the society.
