(Synagogue Ledger). Sepher HaZahav HaMithnadvim LeBinyan Beth Medrash shel Rabbeinu… Menachem Yisroel Ehrlich.

(ARGENTINA)

Buenos Aires

1930-55

Very finely designed hand-colored title-page. With ca. 50 signatures in Hebrew and Spanish.

Donations were anticipated from Jewish communities around Argentina, including many of those first established as agricultural colonies by Baron Maurice de Hirsch in the 19th century, including Entre Rios, Moises Ville, Mendoza and others. Although the pages remain mostly blank, one page in particular seems to have been reserved for honored guests such as Arieh Leon Khubovy, Ambassador of the State of Israel to Argentina, who signed his name in 1955 next to the signature of the Bet Midrash’s founder, Rabbi Menachem Yisrael Ehrlich.
