Notes and sources
Dr. Ephraim Jaffe (5681-5777) was a respected geriatrician and Jewish community leader in North Manchester. He devoted himself to Jewish communal life—serving as medical officer to numerous institutions, examining thousands of prospective immigrants to Israel, and playing a central role at Higher Crumpsall and Higher Broughton Synagogues. Through his brother, the famed Chabad activist Zalmon Jaffe, the Rebbe would often send him communications, and keep abreast of his activities. Additional letters addressed to him include those dated 10 Nissan, 5716; 14 Teveth, 5719; 16 Kislev, 5720; Rosh Chodesh Sivan, 5721.
