“Haskama al HaHashkama” – rare and historic document, a window into a Jewish community in Italy, beginning of the 19th century
An inspiring document, in beautiful Assyrian script. In it, the Jews of the community take it upon themselves to arrive on time for the morning prayer.
The title is “An Agreement on Awakening”, under which is the inscription: “It is so that daily in the morning the lazy will fall asleep, the advice of the yetzer that hazman grama, to the eyelids a nap, and the advice of Hashem is to awaken strongly like a leopard and lion, to take upon oneself the mitzvot for those zruzei nafshei…”
Under the introduction are takanot on that subject with 5 points.
“All those below-signed, if they do not enter the synagogue before the pitom haketoret belachash will have to give up half a soldo [an Italian coin of 200 years ago]” Then there are lists of exceptions and exemptions from the penalty (the traveller, the sick person, etc.), and an agreement that the money will go to clothe the indigent and provide for orphans and bedek habayit.
“And then it may be that the members who are zerizim to come to tahara, Hashem will help them, all those above accepted all this upon themselves…may the shechina be among them.”
Among the signatories are: “Yehoshua ben Zion Sigrai”, “Yitzhak Shmuel Sigrai”, “Yosef Asher Polisai”, “Azriel Kolon”, “Zevadya Kolon, ” “Shmuel Kohen, ” “Menachem Nurtzi”, “Mordechai Valbera”, “…Levi.”
Arzei HaLevanon lists a rabbi of the period by the name of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Zion Sigrai, son of Rabbi Elisha, chosen rabbi of Casale in Italy, approximately 1745, who served as rabbi of the town for close to 70 years, according to his testimony in the introduction to his book “Kitzur Dinei Treifa.” He died in 1809 (Arzei HaLevanon p. 836). The other names are very common so it is difficult to clarify them, or there is no information about them.
20.4x30.7cm.
Stains, tears on the right-hand side with damage to text, see picture.
An original Italian Jewish item that gives a rare glimpse into the work of the Creator and the war of the yetzer of dear Jews in Italy about 200 years ago.
