⟦Chapter⟧
⟦3⟧
And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord
and the Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the Lord said to the Satan,
The Lord rebuke you, O Satan; even the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you:
is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Now Joshua was clothed with filthy
garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spoke to those who stood
before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And to him he said,
Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes. And I said,
Let them set a pure miter upon his head. So they set the pure miter upon his head,
and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by.
And the translation of Jonathan ben Uzziel, peace be upon him, says: And he showed me Joshua the high priest
serving before the angel of the Lord, and the sin stood at his right hand
to mislead him. And the Lord said to the adversary, The Lord shall rebuke you, O adversary;
and the Lord shall rebuke you, who has taken pleasure in Jerusalem; is not this one rescued from
the fire? And Joshua had been wearing garments that were like sons who had children that were not
fitting for the high priesthood, and he stood before the angel of the Lord.
And he answered and said to those who stood before him, saying, Remove
the garments that were like sons who had children that were not fitting from him. And he said
to him, See, I have removed your debt from you, and I have clothed you with garments
of merit. And I said, let them place a pure crown
on his head. And they placed a pure crown on his head, and they clothed him with garments;
and the angel of the Lord stood by. And the angel of the Lord testified to Joshua,
saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in My ways, and if
you will keep the charge of My sanctuary, then you shall also judge My house,
and shall also keep My courts, and I will give you places to walk among these
who stand here. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows
who sit before you; for they are men worthy of having a miracle performed for them;
for behold, I am bringing My servant, the Messiah.
We, the three of us sitting as one, and how there came before us
the dear and honorable Mr. Eliyahu, may his Rock and Redeemer protect him, son of the late Mr. Yosef Chaim,
may his Rock and Redeemer protect him, and argued certain matters regarding his wife, Mrs.
Masuda, may she be blessed among women, daughter of the late Mr. Menashe, may his Rock and Redeemer protect him, and said
that for some time now she has been rebellious against him and does not
obey him in any of his words, and goes out and comes in without his permission,
and does not perform the housework, and also curses him
and his father and his mother, etc. And we sent for her and she came
before us, and she denied his words and said these things
never happened. And we, the Court, investigated and inquired into
the matter and found his words to be truth and justice, for she
is rebellious against him and does not listen to his voice, and we warned
her several times, but reproof did not avail her.
And now, we have surely seen to permit him to marry
another woman over her, etc., and she shall be forbidden
to him forever, and she has no claim against him,
neither the Ketubah, nor the dowry, nor anything else; and all
that she brought into his home from her father's house belongs to him,
and she has no argument or response against him. And we have written
this deed of the Court for him to be in his hand as a merit and evidence,
and we have signed our names here in Baghdad, may the Lord protect it, and this was
the 5th day of the week, the seventeenth of the month of Adar Rishon,
the year 5625 from the Creation, and everything is valid, clear, and established.
And if his shop, nothing would have reached him from it, and if
likewise it happens without any expectation at all, and it was
as if it were said according to every word by the hand of our prophet
Jeremiah the prophet, peace be upon him, and he said: And how can one not be like a blind man
who does not see how they walk, likewise these walk
thus they shall be here as blind men even if they had sight
to see with it in this mentioned time regarding these
wicked ones who disbelieved, by the hand of our prophet Zephaniah, peace be upon him,
as we mentioned, they have evil and there is ⟦distress⟧
And so it shall be for them: A day of trouble and distress, a day of waste and desolation,
a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
<del>And I will send among them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence</del>
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord;
and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung. Neither their silver
nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but by the fire
of His jealousy the whole land shall be devoured; for He will make an end, indeed a terrible one,
of all them that dwell in the land.
And Isaiah the prophet, peace be upon him, also mentioned this matter
and said: And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress;
as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word.
The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance,
broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Chapter
And on the condition that he returns to her for that period, you shall see
from that condition that he has the choice in
the annulment, and whenever he wanted to return the sold item, even after years,
it is permissible for him to do that. If the sold item was destroyed, consumed, or lost,
then that is from his property because the sold item, as we mentioned, enters
into his ownership. And if the seller said to the buyer:
"I sold you this commodity for such-and-such on the condition that you dispose
of it and sell it; if you profit, the profit is between us,
and if you lose, the loss is on you alone," then this sale
is void. This is because providing capital for trade
on the condition that the profit is between the two and the loss is on
the worker is void. Likewise, if the owner said
to the worker: "Take these dinars and trade with them
on the condition that the profit is entirely yours and the loss is on me," then this
is also void, because it is a corrupt investment partnership, for the condition
of an investment partnership is that the profit and loss are shared
between the two. So if the profit is conditioned entirely for the worker,
that would be contrary to the requirements of the contract, and thus it is void.
This is what is understood from the words of our Master, of blessed memory,
in the Shulchan Aruch.
My lord, to the honor of his excellency our lord, my father, my teacher, and the crown of
my head, the crown of the glory of Israel and its holy one,
the honor of his name, the glory of his greatness, may his majesty be exalted and his honor
be great, Amen, may it be so, forever and ever.
After kissing his hands and feet and the dust of the path of the soles of
his holy feet, I prostrate myself with my face to the ground
before the splendor of the honor of his holiness and from the majesty of
his holy face...
⟦...illegible faded text...⟧
Now I have come to life and peace to inform the honor of
his holiness that we are in life and peace, may God's
name be blessed and may His memory rise for good and for blessing,
and to inform his honor how his holy handwriting reached
our hands and we rejoiced with a very great joy
upon seeing his holy handwriting and that he is in life
and in peace, may God, blessed be His name, sustain his health
and prolong his days and years in goodness and pleasantness.
Furthermore, I inform his excellency's honor regarding
the matter of the mission which he sent to our hands, behold
the sum of one hundred gold pieces reached our hands and we sent
them to the honor of his good name as per his request and as per his command.

"If you want to perform for me a service like this, I

they brought the five hundred dinars and said to him, "O our lord

Arise, go from before me lest I cut off your head!" And he threw
ten dinars to them and said to them, "Take the wages for your toil
and go." And they had a day to eat and drink with it, and after
that they became hungry and said, "What shall we do?" One of them said
to them, "I know a good trade from which we can earn
much gold." They said to him, "What is it?" He said to them, "Let us go
to the atmospheric path where the merchants pass, and we will sit
there; and everyone who passes, we will kill him and take his money."
They said to him, "A good opinion," and they went and sat in that
path. And it came to be that everyone who passed, they would kill him and take
his money. And they came to have much wealth, and besides that,
they came to have horses and weapons and other things. And it became
known among the people that this path

With God's help, Tuesday 23rd of Tishrei, year 5696, here in Baghdad, may God protect it.
O my brother, the possessor of merit and generosity, Mr. Eliyahu, may his Rock and Redeemer protect him.
After greetings to you and the mercy of God and His blessings.
I inform your excellency that on Sunday we traveled from Baghdad
to Diyala, we arrived at Baqubah, and from there we rode
in the car and reached Kirkuk at sunset, and we stayed overnight
in Kirkuk until morning. And in the morning we rode
in the car and reached Mosul before noon.
We stayed at the Customs Inn and rested there.
And from the time of our arrival until today we have seen no rest
due to the much walking and fatigue and the work that
befell us in arranging the goods and selling them.
The market is very stagnant and there is not a penny in the town.
And we are trapped in the inn and cannot go out
from the door of the inn for fear of the government because
they require registers and passports and we have nothing
except only the transit paper that we took from Baghdad.
People say that these days are very difficult
regarding the government and the inspection of passports.
So we pray to God Almighty to make our affairs easy
and deliver us from these ill-fated days for the better.
I wanted to write you a letter before now
but I had no time due to the excessive work.
And this letter I wrote in haste, so please excuse me.
Give my greetings to father and mother and all the family,
and likewise give my greetings to Mr. Abraham and Mr. Joseph.
May you remain in God's protection and care.
Your brother who prays for your well-being,

They were asked above regarding Mr. Aaron Mandler Cohen, how to bless
And he turns his face towards the congregation and says: With the permission of my teachers
and masters, and they answer: With the permission of Heaven, and he blesses:
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us
with His commandments and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of the Eruv, and he grants it to them
and says: Through this Eruv, it shall be permitted for us to bake, to cook,
to insulate, to light a lamp, and to do all our needs
from the festival day to the Sabbath, for us and for all Israel who dwell
in this city. And he says: Blessed is He who separates between holy
and profane, and between light and darkness, and between Israel and the nations,
and between the seventh day and the six days of labor. Blessed
are You, Lord, who separates between holy and profane. And they taste
from the wine, and he distributes it to all the members of the household. And when he sanctifies (Kiddush)
on the night of the Sabbath, he says over the wine 'Vayechulu' and 'Creator of the fruit
of the vine' and 'Who has sanctified us', and tastes, and blesses over the loaf
'Hamotzi' and breaks it and eats, he and all his household members.
And when he sanctifies on the day of the Sabbath, he says: 'And the children of
Israel shall keep the Sabbath etc.', 'Remember the Sabbath day
to sanctify it etc.', 'Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day
and hallowed it. By your leave, masters, Blessed are You, Lord our God,
King of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine,' and drinks.
And afterwards he washes his hands and blesses over the loaf
'Hamotzi' and breaks it and eats, he and all his household members.

To make dinars and they dragged them before the Sultan
Except they came anew and dragged them and killed a group of them
And he turned back and fled from the country into the mountain and arrived
at the mountain of snow and stayed there for three days without food
nor drink and cold in the mountain and in the snow
And he began to cry out from hunger and cold and in the night
He went down walking in the mountain and in the snow and in the darkness
He fell into a very deep pit in the mountain, he fell into the snow
And on top of the snow warm in the pit ⟦...⟧ fell upon him
The snow and covered him and he stayed in the pit under the snow
Fourteen days he did not eat and did not drink and he did not know
Whether he was in the night or in the day as David said
Peace be upon him: 'And I am like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes'
And his body had weakened from hunger and cold and he began to say
⟦...⟧ O Lord of the Worlds, help me, O Lord of the Worlds
⟦...⟧ You know what is in my heart and what I have done with
the people of good and kindness, how can this be my reward
I die a death without a grave and a shroud and no one knows
of my death and no one weeps for me and no one washes me and no one shrouds me
and no one buries me; so when God heard his prayer and his cry
He sent him a leopard from the wild beasts and it entered upon him
into the pit and began to lick him and warm him
And he who represents himself without an obligation will be
fined, and he has no authority to go down to his house, just
as he who goes down into the well wants to climb out of it
and cannot because the rope is in the hand of another. Finished.
And he also said in another place:
And he who wants to save himself from calamities before
they fall upon him, should toil day and night
until he saves himself, and even if it is until the day of death, he should not cease
from remembering that from his guarantor, he shall be safe.
And he who relies on God shall be saved from every hardship
and the calamities that come upon us,
some of them must inevitably resolve into others. And he who wants to be
safe should prepare for them, and before that, he should
have a great concern attached to Him, Exalted is He,
and he should not constantly be occupied with the mention of death,
so he does not rejoice in something that perishes, nor grieve over what is gone,
but rather his concern should be with something that does not wear out. The joys of
God are eternal forever in him, and he should be patient and satisfied
with everything that happens to him, patient ⟦...⟧
so that God is pleased with him. And he who is
reliant on God, He is the one who will suffice him from
the detestable things and the hardships of them. And peace.
Under Your wings hide me, for I have none but You
And regarding the matter of Daniel the Prophet, peace be upon him, etc.
He wrote, of blessed memory, if one sits among the wicked, may the Merciful One
save us, and cannot study the Torah, let him read the verse 'And He is merciful'
and not only if he says in this verse and that is his name
'The living, the living shall praise You, as I do this day,' etc.
And this is also possible regarding the matter of the exile
of Daniel who was in Babylon, and every officer
who would dream a dream of this matter and solve
the dream according to the interpretation of Daniel
But regarding the matter of the Honorable Rabbi Zechariah Ha-Kohen, may his memory be for the life of the world to come
who explained concerning 'tattooed skin' regarding the Side
the Other, and wrote that he would preach this in public
and it would pull his heart like iron, and he proved
as it is written 'Let not him that girds on his armor boast himself as he that puts it off'
or 'Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not
what a day may bring forth,' and this he would preach
this is as we spoke at the beginning of the words
And regarding the matter of the wicked man, and he said like them, and this
shows that this is a matter, and this is what King David, peace be upon him, explained
concerning a pit for him, a well of living waters and flowing streams
of which the Sages of blessed memory said, 'Many waters cannot
quench love, neither can the floods drown it'
as it is written 'Many waters' etc. Beer-sheba

And even if you have a deed for the payment of the Ketubah, he shall not collect
from encumbered property, even though it contains an act of acquisition and a lien on property,
for so wrote the Master in Section 111, Paragraph 15:
One does not collect from encumbered property except with a deed in which is written
an act of acquisition or in which is written a lien on property.

And since it was obligatory for him to pay zakat and return a portion
from it in return, he should return in total as we
mentioned in the issues. Then he paid its income into the house

upon that, and from ⟦...⟧ the price is possible in that, and what is correct
And since he had that, he refused for that to be
upon the guarantee, so its price is not permissible for him.
And if the matter is so, then the guarantee became obligatory

unless it is accepted from him, then that payment is not permissible for him
from that anything

And that is in that the payer of that shall be

the payer in that paid to his companion that
And that payment to his hand is permissible for him, that payment
in total. So the matter of payment by payment, doubt of payment, that
to payment of that, so it is not permissible for him to pay that in total
at once. So the matter of that, he instructed him of it, intending that
And what appears to me is that the payment should be by the hand of whoever wants
that, because there would be in that piety and caution from that
And what he should do first, and whatever was in that of this from that
that would be an entry into it, so it is not permissible for him except in
paying what he mentioned to the rightful claimant of that, unless that be
a payment to him of what he has of that, if he commanded it
at his hands in that
