Dear Colleagues,

I'm writing with another paying gig. Please feel free to forward to anyone whom you think might be interested.

I'm seeking someone to translate this pamphlet (https://hebrewbooks.org/33896), written in 1848 (?) and published in 1911. It's in Hebrew with significant Yiddish portions. There are notes to be translated in Rashi script at the bottom.
