Signatures & Stamps of the Emissary Rabbi Chaim Yaakov HaKohen Feinstein
Rabbi Chaim Ya’akov HaKohen Feinstein was a resident of Safed and Jerusalem, an emissary and a Talmudic scholar. He traveled three times as an emissary for Kollel Chaissidim in Safed 1866-1887. He traveled as far as Sa’ana, Yemen and Cochin, India. While he was in Cochin, he saw that even religious Jews traveled on the train on Shabbat, so he composed his book Imrei Shabbat (Calcutta, 1874) on the prohibition of the matter. He also authored Torat Imecha (Calcutta, 1886) – admonishing Indian Jewry for widespread inappropriate conduct there, as well as the compilation “Mashbit Milchamot” (printed at the end of his book Imrei Shabbat , Krakow edition, 1889) on the Judaism of the black Jews of Cochin.
