Pinhas Hacham

From "Reconsidering the Tale of Yosef Maman and the Buckarian Jewish Diaspora" by Alanna E. Cooper

"Pinhas Hakham, a descendent of Maman, was born in Bukhara in 1876. He died at the age of 18, four years after having immigrated to the Land of Israel. Shortly after his death, his grieving father, Shimon Hakham, published a book in his memory entitled "Zekher Isadik" (In Memory of a Righteous One). The book contains eulogies delivered in Pinhas's honor and pieces that Pinhas himself wrote during his short life. In one such piece, Pinhas explains that he found a transcript of the sermon his forebear, Maman, delivered in synagogue on his first Shabbat in Bukhara. The sermon, according to Pinhas, was written in "Spanish writing." Pinhas's translation of that sermon, which appears in Zekher tsadik, is the closest thing we have to a primary source."
