Today, Monday, the 27th of Tishrei 5528, according to the abbreviated era October 20, 1767we, the signatories below, gathered and have determined the great need for our congregation to borrow for the needs of our congregation, i.e., to pay for the shares for both the Blonden and the Beuteltuch factory

and other needs of the congregation – for the sum of two thousand two hundred Reichstaler Louis d‘Or. The capital is lent to our congregation by ha-chakham ha-gadolHebrew: the great scholar. As the many honorifics that precede the names of rabbis and congregation leaders are often difficult to distinguish or define precisely in translation, they are briefly explained. ha-katzinTitle used for leading members of the congregation, such as heads of congregation. parnas u-manhigTerm for official representatives or leaders of the congregation ha-rav rabenuLiterally: the rabbi our rabbi Yaakov Katz in Hamburg for four percent interest. The 2,200 Reichstaler Louis d’Or will be collected by the katzin moreinu ha-rav Moriah Katz, who will hand over the coins to the tax collector ha-chakham ha-gadol ha-rav rabenuLiterally: the rabbi our rabbi Israel bar Sch. and he will calculate the 2,200 Reichstaler well as usual. We, the undersigned, have signed a promissory note in solidum to the aforementioned R. Yaakov for the benefit of our congregation; and when Yaakov demands his capital back, then the aforementioned sum shall be raised by the members of the congregation, one half according to the head tax and one half according to the assets. At the beginning of the Martinmas fair, which begins in the month of Cheshvan 528October / November 1767 according to the minor reckoning, a meeting of the congregations of Prussia shall be held, then strangers, impartial people, shall determine in what manner the above-mentioned expenses, that is, for the shares for the Blonden and Beuteltuch factory, shall be raised. And thus, we will follow the judgment of the impartial people. And so it will be with the interest that we have to pay on the above-mentioned capital, that is, that we will raise it in the above-mentioned manner. And if the parties decide to raise the above-mentioned expenses in another way, we will add the funds half according to the assets and at least half according to the above-mentioned head tax.
