S. MORAIS
546 N. Fifth Street
Philadelphia, Pa.
To the President and Trustees of the Jewish Theological Seminary March 12th-1895.
Gentlemen:
According to your wish that, in conjunction with the Rev. Drs. H. P. Mendes and Maisner, I would inquire into the charges made against the Rabbinical Preceptor in the Jewish Theological Seminary- Dr. A. J. Jaffe, I made the latter acquainted with your deliberation. He stated with positiveness that to the best of his knowledge, he never transgressed against dietary laws, whether Biblical or traditional. He further asserted that if he ceased frequenting certain eating house near the Institution, it was not because he had reasons to suspect deception as regards the food, but because he had learned that the Sabbath was not properly observed there.
Dr. Jaffe said that for the same cause he changed restaurants from time to time, but that he has now arranged to take his meals from the 1st of April at a place satisfactory in every way.
Truly yours, (signed) S. MORAIS - Identifier
