A postcard kept in the Alexander collection, which was sent from Jerusalem to Vienna in 1877, opens a window into the sad situation of the residents of Jerusalem in that year, at a time when the Ottoman Empire was in a state of war with the Russian Empire. The postcard introduces the reader to the special character of Rabbi Amram Beloya, one of the leaders of the community of Hungarian immigrants in Jerusalem in the second half of the 19th century.
