Description

An important post-Holocaust administrative document issued by the Central Bureau of Orthodox Communities in Hungary (Budapest, 1946).


  • The Figure: The document is signed by Rabbi Samuel Zalman Kahana-Frankel, a prominent leader who stood at the helm of the Orthodox Bureau during the critical years of post-war reconstruction.
  • Proof of Status: Rabbi Kahana-Frankel’s standing is further verified by contemporary Rabbinic proclamations (such as the one included in the gallery references), where he appears alongside the leading Geonim of the generation as a primary authority for Hungarian Jewry. 
  • Content: A formal recommendation for Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Kahan of Derecske, a survivor of the Austrian deportations, seeking support for his Aliyah and continued rabbinic mission.

Condition report:
