Sefat Emet by Rabbi Moses Hagiz – On the Advantages of Eretz Israel – Amsterdam, 1707 – First Edition
Sefat Emet, about the advantages and sanctity of Eretz Israel, by R. Moses Hagiz. Amsterdam: Shlomo Katz Proops, [1707]. First edition.
The author's introduction which appears at the beginning of the book, is also printed in Portuguese.
The composition describes the advantages of Eretz Israel in comparison with other countries and relates to the economic situation of the Jews living in Eretz Israel and in Jerusalem, to the emissaries on behalf of Eretz Israel and to the donations received by Jews living in Eretz Israel.
The description of the dire economic situation in Jerusalem at the time includes the author's severe criticism of the heads of the Livorno and Amsterdam communities, who in his opinion, do not donate enough to the Jews living in Eretz Israel and waste their money on low matters (detailed on leaf 24/b). These words gave leash to outbursts of anger among Amsterdam Jews and their leaders and at their behest, R. Shlomo di Oliveira and R. Solomon Ayllón decided to prohibit the distribution of the book in Amsterdam.
