Financial document signed by Rabbi Pinchas Horowitz of Broyde-Safed, [1864]. Scribal hand.
The document discusses laws concerning neighbors. One person made a window facing a ruin whose owner had been far away at the time. Now, the owner claims that his neighbor had no permission to make this window and has no tenure to a window in this direction. The neighbor agrees to bring proof that he does have tenure to opening a window in this direction. Signature of Rabbi Pinchas Horowitz, confirming the matter, in the margin.
Rabbi Pinchas Horowitz , grandson of the author of Hafla’ah , moved from Broyde to Safed. His daughter, Rebbetzin Miriam, married Rabbi David Shlomo Tzvi Biderman of Lelov [Reb Duvidel of Lelov]. The story is told that soon after Rabbi Horowitz resettled in Safed, he heard about Admor Elazar Mendel of Lelov [father of Reb Duvidel] and traveled to Jerusalem to visit him. He immediately felt a strong bond with the Admor and that is how the shidduch between their children came about.
