A Letter Signed with the Signatures of Three of the Great Rabbis of Yemen. About the Sage Rabbi Saiman Yichye
[1] leaf. 17x25 cm.
An interesting handwritten letter signed by three of the great scholars of Yemen: Rabbi Avraham ben Mori Yichye, Rabbi Yichye ben Moshe HaLevi Yitzchak, and Rabbi Shlomo Tzabach. [For information about them refer to Encyclopedia L'Chachmei Teiman].
In the letter is a call to collect money for the great sage Rabbi Saliman Yichye who intended to leave Yemen after many tragedies happened to him.
"And now the events of the time and its illnesses reached this person whose name is Saliman Yichye...and he went without strength and suddenly became old from the burning fire of the great sufferings...until his strength is worn out and now he has decided to go into exile..."
Tears in the margins, fine condition.
