The book A Plant to Avraham, by Tzvi Hirsh Halevi son of Khayim Halevi, grandson of Avraham Abeli Sagal, Warsaw, 1796, on page 4 contains the endorsement of
Rabbi Ephrayim Yehuda Leib --son of Alexander Maizelsh-- Head of the Rabbinical Court and Head of Yeshiva of Holy Community of Visoki D'Lita.
| Notes: The title in Hebrew: צמח לאברהם. It was common for Jewish religious books to contain endorsements (i.e., recommendations) of established religious authorities in the introductory material. The endorsement in this case was substantial. The mention of a Vysoki Yeshiva --using the Aramaic word, metivta-- is unmistakeable and unique. |
