Supplication by Zelman Aronowicz concerning the Jewish self-government of Podolia

Zelman Aronowicz on behalf of the "synagogue of the entire Podolian voivodeship" complains that because of its incorporation into the Ruthenian self-government they are suffering losses, and in addition they had their money stolen by the rabbi of Żwaniec. He asks on behalf of the self-government to be separated from the Ruthenian self-government, and he also pleads that Jewish assemblies should take place in the estates of Adam Sieniawski. He also proposes that the bills of the self-government be checked by the rabbi of the city where the assembly will be held.
