Rare, unique historic document: Letter of certification for the rabbinate of Admor Rabbi Shimon Shlomo Wertheim of Bender.
A letter of certification for the rabbinate submitted by the Bender community (see the previous item) for the Admor Rabbi Shimon Shlomo Wertheim of Bender (1814). The letter states that the Bender community requests Rabbi Shimon Shlomo to succeed his father Rabbi Aryeh Leib as Admor “after the Admor was taken from us (he died).” 65 signatories from the community are signed on the letter.
Rabbi Shimon Shlomo Bender (the First) (1805-1864) was the son and successor of Rabbi Aryeh Leib, the first Admor of Bender. He served as Av Beit Din and Admor in Bender (Serbia) until his death. He was a student of his uncle Rabbi Moshe Zvi of Savran. His divrei torah were printed recently in the work Ohr HaShemesh, which had remained until recently in manuscript form.
