View interactive document page

Description

These are documents from the Baghdadi Jewish community. Included are correspondence with community members asking for assistance and visas; birth, life, betrothal, marriage, divorce, widowhood, and death certificates. Some of the verification certificates include names written in Hebrew. One of the letters from the president of the Lay Council in Baghdad is to a Rabbi in New York City about the betrothal of Baghdadi woman to an American man; other letters are confirming the death of a husband and the widow status of a wife and family in need of financial assistance.
