Rabbi Yosef Ben Salih's moral rebuke concerning the events of 1724 in Yemen

This is the first publication of a newly discovered document, in which a Yemenite rabbi describes a catastrophic famine that became a major blow for his community and interprets the calamity as a divine punishment for lax mores. The article presents the text in Hebrew and English, details the manuscript's provenance, discusses the historical and halakhic background of the piece, and compares it to other responses to the same event.
