* Pruzbol document, including a halachic innovation, signed by the gaon Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank and Rabbi Chaim Shlomo Rosenthal. Jerusalem, 1938.

Important shtar pruzbol signed by the chief rabbi of Jerusalem, the gaon Rabbi Tzvi Pesach Frank, author of Har Tzvi, and the gaon Rabbi Chaim Shlomo Rosenthal, the safra d'dayna, stamped by the Bada"tz. It was customary in Jerusalem over the years that signatures by two witnesses on the pruzbol were sufficient, and there was no need for three dayanim. However, in a case like this, the text of the pruzbol must be different. In this document, we see that even for the standard text designated for a beit din, the Har Tzvi was satisfied with just two signatures.
