I dont think anyone would like it for bedspread Wink

Now seriously, I think this is from a town called Charlotta in North Carolina.
Does anyone know if this town exists (I'm not from the USA) and if so, maybe the chevra kadisha should be contacted over there as this might be a stolen item... Sad

Perhaps s/o ought to email them and ask where it comes from. Puke

The buyer answered that he got it as a present...he didn't know what it was and was shocked and asked me if he should take it off ebay...

You can tell the person can't read Hebrew, the words are upside down. I had that with a needlepoint I bought. It was the alef beis & the picture was backwards.

OK. I did some research. The phone number for someone in Charlotte, NC, chevera kadisha is.......
Who's volunteering to call?

moderator: I have edited out the name/number as the person has been contacted and we don't want more people calling them.
