Description		    Addressed to R. Samuel Salant by R. Elijah Moshe Panigel (1850–1919), (hakham bashi and Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Eretz Yisroel). Orphaned in childhood, R. Panigel was raised by his uncle, the Sephardi chief rabbi of Erez Israel (rishon le-Zion), R. Raphael Meir Panigel. An outstanding preacher and cantor, he was sent on fund-raising missions to Algeria by the Misgav la-Dakh Hospital in Jerusalem and to North Africa, Italy, India, the Caucasus and Bokhara, by the Jerusalem community. In 1907 he was appointed hakham bashi (chief rabbi of the Ottoman Empire) and Sephardi chief rabbi of Erez Israel but was forced to resign 1908. When Jerusalem was captured by the British in 1917, he publicly welcomed General Allenby and the Jewish Legion.
