From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Naftali

Description

A dispute arises over whether Jews living in surrounding villages on leased estates must contribute to the kehillah's communal expenses. The Chasam Sofer rules that historically affiliated villagers must pay as full partners but their share should be reduced proportionally.
