Municipal notice on the result of an election for the charity collector (gabbai tzedakah). It states that Joseph N”Sh (probably Neuschloss, or Nové Hrady in Czech) was elected gabbai in Luže for the year 554 (1793/94). Under the year is the signature of the scribe, cantor and secretary of the Lusatian community, Shmuel.
The map shows the location of all the sites where the genizah items in the collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague were discovered (finds from other sites, such as Ivančice and Pacov, are not in the museum’s collections). Representative genizah items from each location are gradually being added to the museum’s website. Complete sets of genizah items can be found in the museum’s catalogue at collections.jewishmuseum.cz.
