Manuscript, founding of a synagogue in Horochow [Horochow province of Tiberia, Crimea].1786.
A long and poetic document 5 pages, about the synagogue and the donors. 3 pages with lists and signatures of "nummer" [seat number] buyers.
At this period Jews arrived from Lithuania and Russia to settle in the Crimea area. The old Jewish communities were Crimean Jews, one of whom signed the document [in writing similar to oriental writing] and communities of Kara'im that lived separately from the Jewish communities.
Interesting historical document.
