רשומה קשורה ל-מכתב: ENA 3787.10

Partial translation

There is a woman [here] who has been “a widow in [her husband’s] lifetime” for more than three years now. We have heard that her husband is in Egypt. His name is Yosef, and with him is another man also named Yosef. He is a young man with reddish hair, and his distinguishing characteristic is that he was a Qaraite, one who does not acknowledge the words of our sages, and now has become a Rabbanite. She is an ‘aguna with four children who are dying of starvation. In your kindness, if he is there, tell him to return to his wife. And if he has left, or you have heard that he is verifiably deceased, please send her a letter here in Damascus [to that effect].
