Printed with the German on the left, and the Hebrew facing it on the right. Wedding invitation for the children of I. (Yitzhak) Babad and A. (Avraham Leib) Babad to be held on Wednesday, March 27th, 1929 at the Beit Ha-Midrash on Lanestrasse. Although both sides have the same last name, there is no indication on the invitation as to whether or not the families are related. Included here is a letter on company stationary from A. Babad (manufacturer) written in flowery Hebrew handwriting. He is the father of the groom. It was written in Frankfurt am Main in 1929 and discusses his two daughters, Shaina and Ruchama, who he says are not like the daughters of the land, presumably in religious observance.
Babad, a family of rabbis. The founder of the family was Isaac of Cracow, son of Issachar Berish, a parnas of the Council of Four Lands, and grandson of Heschel, av bet din of Cracow. He served as rabbi of Brzezany and then of Brody, where he died in 1704. His children added the word Babad (an acronym of Benei Av Bet Din, "children of the av bet din") to their signatures, and it eventually became their surname.
