Rare Judaica Special Items Auction
Lot 23:
Historic: Ksav Ha’chtarah of the Gaon Ba’al Nesivos Ha’Mishpat of Lisa 1816 – Signed by the Rabbanim of Lisa.
After we at Atikim Auction House publicized in previous sale the letter from the Nesivos Ha’Mishpat, to the heads of the Lisa Kehilla, about the humiliating behavior of some members of the Kehilla towards him, and his astounding answer, which is a display of the humility of Ha’Gaon Rabbi Yakov, who is known as the leading source for all dayanim, where he testifies about himself … "I have never called a person to a din Torah…."
This document is a renewal of the certificate of appointment 1816, where the residents of Lisa increase his weekly salary by 5 Reichsthaler. The previous salary had been 10 Reichstaler per week. The generous increase was probably due to the fear that Rabbi Yakov would move to a larger community. At that time, the large city of Warsaw was looking for a new Rabbi. The Chemdas Shlomo accepted the position in 1819.
