Parchment Ketubah Signed by Chazan Yossele Rosenblatt / Family Items – Hamburg, 1907

* Ketubah recording the marriage of the groom "Uri, called also Philip" (of the Peine family) with the bride "Hendel, called also Henny" (of the Fleischman family). Scribal writing on parchment. Hamburg, 1907.
The Ketubah has two signatures, one by "Yosef ben R' Refael Rosenblatt Chief Shliach Tzibur and faithful witness of the Ashkenazi community of Hamburg…" referring to the renowned Chazan (cantor) Yossele Rosenblatt (1882-1933), one of the greatest cantors of all times, who contributed greatly to shaping the world of Jewish Chazanut. In 1906, he began filling the position of Oberkantor (Chief Cantor) in the city of Hamburg, where his fame started spreading, and where he remained until he finally moved to the USA in 1912. He signed this Ketubah about a year after he was appointed Oberkantor in the Hamburg community at the age of 25.

(Tears and damage to pouch). * Photograph of groom and bride (apparently the aforementioned couple). * Siddur Iyun Tefilla, with German translation. Prague, 1855. German signature: Moshe Peine.
