- Ketubahs; Marriage certificates; Manuscripts, Hebrew -- 19th century
- Description:
- Bound compilation of manuscript marriage contracts for 62 couples married by George Jacobs between November 5, 1873, and November 13, 1881. Jacobs served as the rabbi of Congregation Beth El Emeth from 1869 to his death in 1884. His term followed that of Isaac Leeser, who founded the synagoge in 1857 and served as its rabbi until his death in 1868. Most weddings took place in Philadelphia, with two each in Doylestown and Lancaster, Pennsylvania; one each in Harrisburg, Manayunk, Abingdon, and Huntingdon, Pennsylvania; and one each in Richmond and Lynchburg, Virginia. Every ketubah is written in the hand of Jacobs, with the abridged ketubah text in a single block paragraph, justified by stretching characters, and his Hebrew name Gershon bar Mosheh S_imh_ah inscribed at the foot of each leaf. Ketubahs are signed by the groom and 2 witnesses. Congregational president Morris Rosenbach signed as witness on several occasions. Couples' English names, wedding date, and wedding location when not in Philadelphia recorded in English at the head of each leaf. The contracts were entered into the volume from left to right on the rectos, with versos left blank. Volume bound in blind-stamped leather, with gilt title on left cover; covers detached and spine damaged.

- Suriname Minhagim, Luaḥ, and Seder ha-parshiyot, 1860-1869. Volume 2.
- Description:
- A ḥazan in Paramaribo; the Levie family members were cantors in Paramaribo.; These are two manuscripts from a set of three miniature volumes of the liturgy records of the ḥazan; hastily written lines and cross-throughs indicate his personal use. The manuscripts follow a left-hinge style of layout following the Dutch writing; the texts follow the minhag, or individual custom of Suriname. Items of interest from the first volume: phonetic transliterations include mention of an "Aronqudes", meaning "Aron ha-ḳodesh" (the holy ark, f. i verso, 18v); mention is made of "De Elkana van Kipoor", a reference to the hafṭarah portion for Rosh ha-Shanah 1 (from Samuel 1:1-2:10, about Elkanah father of Samuel the prophet; it is unclear why the scribe assigns it to Yom Kippur, f. 6r); a list of simple phrases (such as "Torah; ʻodenu" (likely a reference to Numbers 11:33); "Neviʼim; Barukh H. le-ʻolam; Ketuvim; lekhu neraninah; Mishnah; kol yiśraʼel"; f. 16r), referring to portions Levie assigned or read in the synagogue. Items from the second volume are material for Jewish holidays, with the first word reading "poerim" (i.e. Purim; f. iv) and the following folio headed as "Judendagen", or Jewish days (f. 1r); "Sabbath gazon" (for Shabat ḥazon, for the Shabat preceding Tishʻah be-Av, f. 2r); and "Rosj hasjana" (f. 14v). There is a mention of an Abraham E. Gomperts (f. 14r). The last leaf of the second volume is detached. The latest date in the first volume is 1862 (f. 18v) and the second 1869 (f. 13v). Both are written in informal paragraphs with the Dutch in cursive script and the Hebrew in square script. Bound in soft wrappings, original. Written in Paramaribo, the capital of the Dutch colony of Suriname.; The third volume in the set is a printed prayer book cataloged separately under the title Minḥat ʻerev li-vene Sefarad... (Amsterdam: D. de Miranda & Co., 1865).; Formerly owned by Dutch filmmaker and author Willy Lindwer (stamp, Willy Lindwer Judaica Collectie, inside housing).
