In memory of the foundation
For a very excessive pleasure from our judgment by the Cohen Joseph and so-and-so
Who brought before him and that in which which and so-and-so
Who was with them and said to them when he entered the land
All of it was with them one by one of that which is in that which
And that in that hour and he said to them it was not
Upon me such and such and that he who does not eat with them
And so he shall pay them his debt, he shall not eat with them
As if and he said to him there was nothing of that upon him
What was with them like that Moses our teacher, peace be upon him, commanded
In that which and he who has no night garment
Upon him and he commanded to do for them that which
Is upon them and in that hour he said to them that which
And from that it was upon them from the time of Moses our teacher, peace be upon him
In that which and he said to them that which was upon them
To that which was upon them and he said to them that was upon them
And he said to them that was upon them and he said to them that was upon them
And he said to them that was upon them and he said to them that was upon them

And he took the priestly garments and put them on and came to the house of
the king and stood before the king and bowed down to the king with his face
<del>to the ground and the king said what is it Esther the queen</del>
And the king said to him, what is it that you have come here for?
And he said to him, I am your servant, the son of your servant who was in the king's house
in the former days and his name was Hatach. And the king said to him,
Indeed, I knew your father who was faithful before me and before
<del>my ancestors, and you, how did your heart embolden you to come before me in garments of</del>
priesthood? And you know that no person has permission to come
to the king without permission, except for one whom the king calls for.
And he said, your servant is very, very faithful before the king.
And the king said to him, if so, tell me what is in your mouth.
And he said to him, my lord the king, know that Haman the wicked
sought to kill all the Jews who are in all your kingdom
and took their silver and their gold and put it in the king's treasury.
And now, O king, if it please the king, let it be written to return
the letters which Haman the wicked wrote to destroy the
Jews who are in all the king's provinces; for how
can I endure to see the evil that will come upon my people? And how
can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred? And the king said
to Hatach, do not fear and do not be dismayed, for I will be
a help and a benefit to you, and my people will not be abandoned either,
for your God is the true God and He will save you
from the hand of the adversary and the enemy. And now, go and say to Mordecai,
do not fear and do not be dismayed, for no evil will befall you,
for I will speak to the king and he will perform
your request, and everything that you say to him he will do.
And Hatach rejoiced and came and told Mordecai all the words of
the king, and Mordecai rejoiced with great joy and said,
Blessed is the Lord who has not withdrawn His kindness and His truth from
Israel. Blessed is He and blessed is His name forever and ever.

Whoever mentions [God]. And he who mentions is he who hears the words of God Exalted -
And looking at the truth inherits light in the sight, and looking
at falsehood inherits blindness, and looking at the desire inherits beauty,
and looking at the world inherits loathing, and looking at the hereafter inherits
asceticism, and looking at faults inherits fatigue, and looking at virtues

inherits joy, and looking at the laws inherits action, and looking at
time inherits taking provisions, and looking at <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> creatures inherits
lessons, and looking at the self inherits humility, and looking at the Lord inherits
might. Whoever loves speech, mentions God; and whoever loves looking, reflects
on the creatures. And whoever looks at the creatures, looks at the wisdom of the Maker,
exalted be His power. And whoever looks at the world, looks at its passing,
and whoever looks at the Fire, looks at its severity, and whoever looks at Paradise,

Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness,
awesome in glory, working wonders? You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
In Your lovingkindness You led the people You redeemed; in Your strength You guided them to Your holy abode.
The nations heard and trembled; agony gripped the dwellers of Philistia.
Then the chieftains of Edom were dismayed; trembling seized the leaders of Moab;
all the dwellers of Canaan melted away. Terror and dread fell upon them;
by the greatness of Your arm they are still as stone, until Your people pass by, O Lord,
until the people You purchased pass by. You bring them and plant them
on the mountain of Your inheritance, the place, O Lord, You made for Your dwelling,
the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands established. The Lord shall reign forever and ever.
For when the horse of Pharaoh with his chariots and horsemen went into the sea,
the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the Israelites walked
on dry land in the midst of the sea. Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took
the tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her
⟦illegible⟧
⟦illegible⟧
with tambourines and dancing. And Miriam chanted to them: Sing to the Lord,
for He is highly exalted; the horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.
Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of
Shur; they traveled for three days in the wilderness and found no water.

A question: The feet of a servant shall not move on the Day of Resurrection until
he is asked about four: about his life, how he spent it;
and about his body, how he wore it out; and about his wealth, from where he earned it
and on what he spent it.
The answer: Life is the time of living. Whoever spends his time in obedience to God,
Exalted is He, has earned eternal life and everlasting bliss.
And whoever spends his time in disobedience to God, Exalted is He, has lost this world and the hereafter.
As for the body, it is the vehicle of the soul. If he exhausts it in obedience to God,
Exalted is He, then he is the winner and has found a rest after which there is no fatigue.
And if he exhausts his body in seeking the world and desires, then he is the loser
who has labored with a labor followed by no rest. As for wealth, if it was
from lawful means and he spent it on lawful things, then it is the permanent bliss and the great kingdom.
And if it was from forbidden means or he spent it on forbidden things, then it is regret and heartbreak,
and painful punishment and the Hellfire.
A question: What is the thing that is all mouth? And what is the thing that is all
eye? And what is the thing that is all wing? And what is the thing that is all
leg? And what is the thing that is all male? And what is the thing that is all
female?
The answer: That which is all mouth is the jar. And that which is all eye is the net.
And that which is all wing is the fan. And that which is all
leg is the ladder. And that which is all male is the sword. And that which is all
female is the staff.

And if such is the case, then what you must
do is as He commanded you, and likewise also
as the Almighty said: "Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all
thy gates" etc. And He appointed judges over them to judge
between them; so whoever transgresses against the judges, it is as if he transgressed
against God the Almighty, as He said: "For the judgment is God's."
And likewise also, whoever opposes the command of the judges has
opposed the command of God the Almighty, as He said: "And the man that
doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest" etc.
And likewise also, whoever opposes the command of his parents has
opposed the command of God the Almighty, as He said: "Honour thy father
and thy mother," and He said: "Cursed be he that dishonoureth his father or his mother."
And likewise also, whoever opposes the command of his teacher has
opposed the command of God the Almighty, as He said: "And let the fear of thy teacher be as the fear of
Heaven," and He said: "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God," and He said:
"And thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
And if we contemplate these commandments, we find that all the commandments
that are between man and his fellow are included under this
commandment, meaning: "And thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself," because everything
that a person hates for someone else to do to him, he is forbidden from
doing to others, as Hillel the Elder said: "That which is hateful to you,
do not do to your fellow." And from this [comes the prohibition of] robbery, theft, lying,
gossip, and other such reprehensible actions
whose explanation would be lengthy. And this commandment is a great principle in the Torah.

a people for Himself and the Lord was with Joseph and he was a successful
man and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian and his master saw
that the Lord was with him and all that he did the Lord made successful
in his hand and Joseph found favor in his eyes and he served him
and he appointed him over his house and all he had he put in his hand and it was
from the time he appointed him in his house and over all that he had
that the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian because of Joseph and it was
the blessing of the Lord in all that he had in the house and in the field
and he left all that he had in Joseph's hand and he knew not with him
anything except the bread which he ate
and Joseph was handsome of form and handsome of appearance and it was
after these things that his master's wife lifted
her eyes to Joseph and said lie with me
and he refused and said to his master's wife behold my master knows not
what is with me in the house and all that he has he has put in my hand
there is none greater in this house than I and he has not withheld from me
anything but you in that you are his wife and how
can I do this great evil and sin against God
and it was as she spoke to Joseph day by day and he did not listen to her
to lie beside her to be with her and it was as this day

Rabbi Shlomo ben Shushan of blessed memory told me regarding the matter of happiness -
regarding every person's concern for his property, I heard from the scribes of
Rabbi David Hai Ashkenazi of blessed memory that he wanted to buy the house of Alkhatib
<del>⟦illegible⟧</del> of Ezra Lalo and sent him a messenger
and requested from him to sell him the house he lived in because he heard that
he wanted to sell it, and he sent him an answer that he did not want to sell.
And Rabbi David Hai Ashkenazi of blessed memory sent a messenger a second time
and he answered the same thing.
But His Honorable Excellency (the name) would not turn from his words and sent
to him a third time because perhaps he would sell him the house.
And he sent with the messenger a thousand gold pieces in the hand of the messenger
that he should give them to the seller if he wanted to sell and the money (the seller)
(and he said to him) the seller said to the messenger, to my master, please reach out
your hand and take a little dust from the ground and put it inside the handkerchief
and take it to your Rabbi. And so the messenger did, and filled the handkerchief with dust
and put the gold pieces inside it and brought them to his Rabbi and told him the things.
And when the Rabbi heard these things he was very moved
and said to his friends, see what this man has done,
for he sent me dust to hint to me that the end of man is dust
and what use will the gold pieces and the money be to a man after his death
if not for Torah and commandments and good deeds.
And he said, therefore I no longer desire to buy or to build houses.
And upon mentioning it, God forgot it, and he mentioned that in the book

And after praising God Almighty, may He always guide us to goodness and righteousness
We, the undersigned in this our document, say
That on the day the news of the death of the deceased Aga David reached us
son of Joseph, may his soul rest in Eden
out of good consolation
the arrival of sorrow from every side upon us, especially what reached us
from your high excellence. So the sorrow and grief increased upon us
because of the parting of your dear brother who broke us all
But we have no choice but to submit to the command of God Almighty
And God willing, may He make it the end of sorrow from all sides
And may He not show you any misfortune
And after that, we inform you that on the day the news of the death arrived
of the deceased your brother Aga David Joseph, may his soul rest in Eden, we were all

The day will come, a day of reckoning, and the day of his coming in peace
On that day the Lord will punish the host of heaven on high and
the kings of the earth on the earth. And on that day a great shofar
shall be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and the outcasts
in the land of Egypt shall come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
The mountains shall melt under Him, and the valleys shall split like wax before
the fire, like water poured down a slope. The nations heard and trembled;
anguish seized the inhabitants of Philistia. Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed;
trembling seized the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.
Terror and dread fall upon them; by the greatness of Your arm they are still as stone,
until Your people pass by, O Lord, until the people pass by whom You have purchased. You will bring them in
and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance, the place, O Lord, which You have made for Your abode,
the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established. The Lord shall reign forever and ever.
As it is further said: Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous
Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell securely; and this is the name by which
he will be called: 'The Lord is our righteousness.' In those days and at that time I will cause to grow
for David a Branch of righteousness; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In those
days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely; and this is what
will be called: 'The Lord is our righteousness.' For thus says the Lord: David shall never lack
a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; nor shall the priests,
the Levites, lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to offer
sacrifices forever. Thus says the Lord: If you can break My covenant
with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night will not come
at their appointed time, then also My covenant with David My servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son
to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers. As the host
of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the
descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.
The law of this death is as stated in the Gemara in [the chapter] 'These
are those who are strangled' and in the chapter 'The trial is finished' we learn it from the verse
as it is written: 'The striker shall surely be put to death, he is a murderer' etc.
And if you say, from where do we know it is by the sword? Say it is by strangulation.
The Gemara has learned it as a tradition, and if you want, say it is a logical deduction:
Since it is said of a murderer 'shall surely be put to death' and it is said
of one who strikes his father or mother 'shall surely be put to death'; just as there it is by strangulation,
so too here it is by strangulation. But perhaps: just as there it is by stoning, so too here
is by stoning? As it is said here 'shall surely be put to death' and it is said of a medium
or an oracle 'shall surely be put to death'; just as there it is by stoning, so too here
is by stoning. We derive 'shall surely be put to death' [singular] from 'shall surely be put to death' [singular] and we do not derive
'shall surely be put to death' from 'shall surely be put to deaths' [plural]. On the contrary, we derive 'shall surely be put to death'
which does not involve desecration of the Sabbath from 'shall surely be put to death' which does not involve desecration
of the Sabbath, to exclude a medium and an oracle which involve desecration of the Sabbath.
This works well for the one who says [strangulation is] burning of the soul while the body remains,
but for the one who says it is burning of the body, what can be said?
He holds like the one who says strangulation is [more] severe.
And the Rabbis, what do they do with this 'shall surely be put to death' of a murderer?
They apply it to the four deaths handed over to the court,
and we do not know which of them it is, so we learn it by a verbal analogy [gezeirah shavah]:
It is said here 'shall surely be put to death' and it is said regarding a subverted city
'You shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city by the edge of the sword';
just as there it is by the sword, so too here it is by the sword. But say
it is by stoning? It is said here 'shall surely be put to death' and it is said of a medium
or an oracle 'shall surely be put to death'; just as there it is by stoning, so too here
is by stoning. We derive 'shall surely be put to death' which cannot be replaced
with money from 'shall surely be put to death' which cannot be replaced with money,
to exclude a medium and an oracle which can be replaced with money.

Today, the fifteenth day of the month of Elul, the year 5683
I, the servant of God, David Eliyahu Yosef Yitzchak HaLevi, have written
and given into the hand of my friend David Yehezkel Yosef Ezra Yitzchak
Moshe Samra, this document, which is valid against me and against my heirs
after me, firm and established, not like a conditional document and not like a template
of documents, but rather with the gravity and strength of all documents customary
in Israel that are required for evidence and for entitlement through them, from this
day and forever; and a symbolic acquisition was made from me, the aforementioned David, with an
instrument fit to acquire with, from now, not like a conditional document
and not like a template of documents, with the annulment of all notifications and notifications
of notifications, and the disqualification of witnesses signed upon them according to the regulation
of our Sages of blessed memory that was prior to this day; and thus said to us the aforementioned
David: Be valid witnesses for me and acquire from me and deliver
into the hand of my aforementioned friend David this document to be in his hand for entitlement
and for evidence, and this is its essence: <del>I hereby admit and confess, I</del>
<del>the undersigned, that there remained with me in the partnership account</del>
managed by Chacham Yehezkel Yosef Ezra, a sum of a Lira
and a half, and one and a quarter Mejidie, and half of the Mejidie
that remained for me in his hand from the proceeds of the house he sold to me,
a sum of three Lira and a half and a quarter and half of the Mejidie,
it is found that the total sum is five Ottoman Gold Lira
and a half and a quarter and half of the Mejidie; and the aforementioned sum, I am
obligated to pay it into the hand of the aforementioned Chacham Yehezkel for the period of
ten days from today, and I have no claim against him
or suit at all, neither on the partnership account nor
on the proceeds of the aforementioned house, and understand this well, and everything is firm and established
and true and certain and correct and enduring.
The words of the young one,
David Eliyahu Yosef Yitzchak HaLevi, may his end be good.

All these words spoil the good character of people
and all these matters regarding those who go to the cinema more than other
speech and what resembles that, and it is known that everything that exceeds
its limit turns into its opposite, and he who goes to the cinema
often will have a disease of speech, and he who never goes at all
will be unaware of his world and of the universe, and the eye will be
blinded, as King Solomon, peace be upon him, said: 'The wise man’s eyes are in his head,
but the fool walks in darkness.' And therefore, as I told you, a person
must be moderate; he should not go too much nor cut it off entirely.
As for the words that come out of a person's mouth, they
are evidence of his intellect. If the words are good and beloved,
people will love him and say of him: 'This is a sane and understanding man.'
If leaders and peaceful people have a status, it is because their speech
is beautiful and contains nothing bad, and their speech is like pearls and its meanings
are gold. So when a person speaks, he should go and think about the words
before they come out of his mouth, because words are like bullets;
once they leave the pistol, they do not return. Such are words;
once they leave a person's mouth, they do not return. For this reason,
a person must be deliberate in his speech and not hurry
in responding, because haste is from the devil and deliberation is from
the Merciful, as the proverb says: 'The hasty one is prone to error.'

Praise be to God who has guided us to this, and we would not have been guided had
God not guided us. The messengers of our Lord came with the truth, and peace be upon
the messengers, and praise be to God, Lord of the worlds. This prayer is for
discharging debt, and it is recited on Sunday night because Saturday is the day
of rest <del>Saturday</del> and God Almighty has mentioned in His Mighty Book:
God does not like the public utterance of evil ⟦speech⟧ except by one who has been wronged.
<del>The debt</del> And God Almighty said in His Mighty Book in Surah Al-Baqarah:
And when My servants ask you about Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the caller
when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.
And God Almighty said in Surah Al-Mu'min: And your Lord says, "Call upon Me;
I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter
Hell rendered contemptible. This prayer is recited on Sunday night,
and some of the righteous predecessors used to perform this prayer
every Sunday night, and it consists of four rak'ahs. One recites in every
rak'ah the Opening of the Book once and Surah Al-Ikhlas
ten times. When he finishes his prayer, he says this supplication
seventy times, and it is this:
I seek forgiveness from God the Great, besides whom there is no god but He, the Living, the Sustainer,
and I repent to Him and ask Him for repentance, forgiveness, and guidance for all
that He loves and is pleased with of speech, action, intention, and righteous
deeds that are pleasing to Him. It has been mentioned in some of the Holy
Books that whoever persists in this prayer every Sunday night,
God will forgive his sins, those of his parents, and all believing men
and believing women. This prayer is completed.

things, and what he earns from work shall be shared
between them equally.
And they agreed together that the shop they open shall be a partnership
between them from the 10th of Elul, the year 5665. And the capital
of David in this partnership, from cash and goods as detailed in
the ledger in their hands, was two hundred Ottoman Liras and no more.
And the capital of Ezekiel from cash and goods as detailed
in the ledger in their hands was one hundred and fifty Ottoman Liras
and no more. So the total capital of the partnership is three hundred and fifty
Ottoman Liras. And they stipulated between them that the rent of the shop
and what occurs from it in taxes and other things shall be from
the joint funds, and the profits of the shop shall be halved between
the two parties equally, neither more nor less. And we have acquired from
the aforementioned parties, from the aforementioned David and the aforementioned Ezekiel,
regarding what is mentioned above, a complete acquisition from now, not as a mere promise and not
as a form of document, with the cancellation of all notifications and notifications of notifications according to the regulation of our Sages of blessed memory.
And that was on Sunday, the tenth of Elul, the year 5665 of the Creation,
