summary
The writer here laments the scarcity of genuine spiritually motivated people, willing to rise early and come to the synagogue to form a minyan. Those who do not act appropriately, have thrown in their lot with the mockers within the local Jewish community. - The time has come to urge the faithful to put an end to this scandal!
Stained and heavily creased, holes and tears where document was affixed to wall, with no loss of text. 20 x 17 inches.
