Letter from the Rishon L'Tzion, Rabbi Chaim David Chazan. Jerusalem [1861]

Letter signed and stamped by Rabbi Chaim David Chazan in 1861 for the Talmud Torah of the Sephardic kollels in Jerusalem.


Rabbi Chaim David Chazan was a unique personality in his generation, also a play on his initials: 'ח"ד בדרא'. He was born in Izmir in 1791. His father was Rabbi Rephael Yosef Chazan, Av Beit Din of Izmir, and author of Chikrei Lev. In 1840, he was appointed rabbi of Izmir and served in this position for fifteen years. In 1855, he moved to the Land of Israel. After the passing of the Rishon L'Tzion, Rabbi Chaim Nissim Abulafia, he took over this position until his passing in 1869.

His printed works include: Torat Zevach (Salonika, 1856), Yitav Lev (Izmir, 1858), Yishrei Lev (Izmir, 1870), Shu"t Nediv Lev - two parts (Salonika 1862 - Jerusalem 1866) and glosses in his father's Chikrei Lev.

[1] 26x27 cm. Letter in Italian with several quotations in Hebrew, fine blue paper, written on both sides. His signature is in the margins of the letter, as well as his stamp as Chacham Bashi, and the stamp of the Talmud Torah of the Sephardic Kollels is Jerusalem.

Fine condition. Minimal creases and stains. Fold marks with tiny tears in the folds and in the margins, without lack. The stamps can be seen from the other side of the leaf, but the writing is still legible.
