Summary

This is a letter written to David Berlin, Sunday 24 Adar [II] 5529 (2 April 1769) by Aharon Mosheh Zalman Segel, Ortsrabbiner (rabbi of a city or town with ritual inspection requirements to his position) in Friedrichstadt, a town in northern Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) then under Denmark; the rabbinical position Altona-Hamburg-Wandsbek had authority over Friedrichstadt's rabbinical position. David ben Loeb Berlin, addressee, had sent an earlier letter asking Segel to appear after Passover with his slaughtering knife for an inspection, and Segel replies (in this letter) that he is quite surprised at the sudden request, as he had been slaughtering and overseeing Kosher standards for forty years in the town; he additionally was offended at the request that he arrive with it personally and not merely a messenger with the knife (which probably was more typical for rabbinical kosher oversight) as he is clearly to be tested for knowledge as well as his proving of his Kosher standards for slaughter. Segel ends the note with a greeting and regards from "the widow of David L.D." (Langdorff?).
