Letter of Rabbinic Ordination from Rabbi Mordechai Bennet, AB”D of Nikolsburg; Erev Yom Kippur, 1826

Letter of rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Mordechai Bennet attesting to the individual’s fluency in Ohr HaChaim and Yoreh Deyah and that he is deserving of rabbinic ordination.
Written in beautiful scribal handwriting, the letter is signed by the Maharam Bennet himself.
At the bottom is an additional handwritten and signed letter of ordination from Rabbi Leib HaLevi of Gluga.
Rabbi Mordechai Banet (1753 - 1829) was a leading acharon, a Kabbalist and the renowned Rabbi of Nikolsberg and its surroundings. He was a disciple of the Noda BiYehuda and Rabbi Shmelka of Nikolsberg, who appointed him dayan in his Beis Din. Rabbi Mordechai eventually succeeded his position in the rabbinate and led as Rabbi for forty years.
