Since in the year 1424 a compromise was reached in the holy city of Safed between the Sephardic and Ashkenazi sages and rabbis concerning all the claims and stipulations between them”. Printed in Venice, [approximately 1830].
A compromise agreement between the Sephardic and Ashkenazi congregations in Safed, concerning the method of approaching the various countries and the distribution of the charity funds collected from abroad. This agreement was arranged between two emissaries of the congregation, Rabbi Avraham Shlomo Zalman and Rabbi Natan Marji, who met in Venice. This agreement is a continuation of a preceding one (the writers mention that the Ashkenazi congregation is divided into two sects – Hassidim and Prushim – “and each group has its own appointees and observers, as is well known”).
Signatures (in print) of rabbis and leaders of Safed from all congregations (Rabbi Yisrael of Shklov disciple of the Ga’on Rabbi Eliyahu from Vilna, Rabbi Nissim Zrachia Azulai, Rabbi Avraham Anhori, Rabbi Chaim Cohen Av Beit Din of Pinsk and others) from the month of Elul 1830.
