Regarding the passage from the Shulchan Aruch (?"? ?? ?"? ?? ?), the question arises about how to proceed if, in the absence of the gallbladder, the liver is lost. Meir ben Abraham Hacohen Alfasi answers that the piece is trefa (not kosher). He concludes with a farewell statement to Amsterdam, as he has been called to the community of Suriname. He mentions that he came to Amsterdam as a poor orphan from his homeland of Fez and remembers both his two deceased teachers, Israel Athias and Abendana de Britto, Isaac Abarbanel Henriquez, and David Zemach Aboab. He then thanks the administration of the seminary, the Talmud Torah congregation, and its leaders Jacob de Gavez and Raphael de Abraham Mendez da Costa, the Shevet Musar congregation, and its leaders Abraham de la Penha and Jacob Jessurun, the association Bet Jacob, and Joseph de Abraham de Pinto, the association Bikur Holim, and the deceased Raphael de Moses and Raphael de Abraham Mendez da Costa.
