Description
The letter describes a scandalous event that took place in Chicago, Illinois, approximately two weeks before the writing of the letter, where the burial ground of the Kehilah Anshe Mayrif congregation was inaugurated. The ceremony involved slaughtering chickens and roosters and scattering them around the cemetery. The author considers this practice absurd and not consistent with Jewish tradition, comparing it to the Damascus affair of 1840.
