Ma'aneh al HaSe'arah, Polemic Placard Regarding Corfu Etrogs. Jerusalem, 1891
Placard: Ma'aneh al HaSe'arah. Opposing the ban on etrogs from Corfu, signed by Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer Webber - rabbi of Ada.
The Corfu Etrog controversy broke out in the early 18th century and agitated European Jewry. The foundation of the polemic was the halachic question of the kashrut blessing-suitability of etrogim from Corfu, the Greek island, revolving around a factual clarification: Were these etrogs hybrids or not? The Hebrew press and European Jewry, as well as that in the Land of Israel, followed the polemic in real time, and newspaper editors took pains to criticize each other regarding how the affair was covered.
This placard: 'Ma'aneh al HaSe'arah' opposes the ban. He adds: is it not enough that the poor of Jerusalem have a hard time paying the price of local etrogs, but the livelihood of the Jews on the island of Corfu depends on the etrog trade, and as if they are not sufficiently plagues by their Greek neighbors, now European Jewry comes and cuts off their economic branch? This manifest became famous in Europe and caused quite an uproar, primarily towards the writer.
Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer Webber "The rabbi of Ada" [1822-1892], was a disciple of the Chatam Sofer and descendant of the Magen Avraham. He also studied with the author of Yeriot Shlomo, who ordained him. He was appointed rabbi of Ada in 1853. He was very close to Rabbi Chaim of Sanz, who would call him "רב אדא בר אהבה" (Rabbi of Ada, son of Leeba, which is Ahuvah in Yiddish), a paraphrase of the Amora Rav Ada bar Ahavah. After his ascent to the Land of Israel, he became close to the Mahari"l Diskin, and the only time the Mahari"l Diskin participated in a eulogy was the eulogy for Rabbi Webber. In Tishrei, 1851, he went together with R' Shimon Hausman (Chevroner) into the Cave of the Patriarchs. They went in disguised as Arab women, but forget a sefer Tehillim in the cave, and the Arabs who found it caused a riot which almost caused persecution and pogroms.
