Letter from Eliyyahu ha-Kohen “Beit Din” b. Avraham from al-Raqqah to Ya’aqov he-Ḥaver b. Yosef, Aleppo, ca. 1030. The writer thanks the addressee for taking care of his son, Amram, while he visited Aleppo. Eliyyahu mentions his satisfaction from his status as a judge in three communities in his town (probably the Iraqis, Shamis, and Qaraites), from his acceptance by several heads of Yeshivas in Iraq and the Exilarch (Rosh ha-Gola), and from his good relationships with the Qaraite community and the town governor. (Information from Gil, Kingdom, Vol. 2, #73) VMR Summarized by Frenkel as follows: The letter is effusive in self-praise and relates the writer’s actions and feats as the leader of the al-Raqqa community. He recounts how he “revived the Torah of Moses” and how he “returned many who went astray to the straight path,” and described how he sought to educate both Rabbanites and Karaites, “who, under our authority, have joined the Rabbanites.”
