Includes letters by the Ridvaz to "the Torah scholars and rabbis of Jerusalem". In the introduction are harsh words against Boris Schatz and Mordechai HaCohen who falsely claimed: "Jerusalem rabbis and in particular the Ridvaz made business of begging from Shmitta". On leaf 6, 2: "Notice to keep you from transgressing a prohibition", signed by five members of the Ashkenazi Batei Din in Jerusalem and Rabbi Chaim Berlin, who deny "the rumor that the manner of hefker… is beneficial in permitting also fruits that were grown by working in the Seventh Year (Shmita)".
