Manuscript – Gibraltar – Sermons in Ladino and a Polemic Pamphlet
* Mazkeret Avon, pamphlet concerning a polemic which arose regarding the validity of the Kashrut of the local slaughterer of Gibraltar, 1887. The pamphlet mentions rabbis of Gibraltar, rabbis of Tangier and Morocco and rabbinical emissaries of Eretz Israel (Rabbi Shlomo Suzin and others). The pamphlet was written by one of the rabbis of the city who debated with one of the local elderly rabbis. The writer refers to this rabbi as “rabbi of our nation” and throughout the entire pamphlet discusses the battle of the “elderly king” with the writer - the “unfortunate young person” [according to the proverb in Kohelet 4, 13-14, the evil inclination – “old and foolish king”, with the good inclination – “poor but wise youth”]. * Several sermons in Hebrew and Judeo-Spanish (Ladino). Two of the sermons were prepared for a fatherless Bar Mitzvah boy.
