      <p>The "Yosif Ometz" The Chatam Sofer refers to is not the one authored by the "Chid"a". It is by one of Franfort's dayanim, originaly published in Frankfort in 1523. It is basically&nbsp;covers tefilos and minhagim, with emphasis on the mihagim of the Frankfort kehilla. He describes at great length the expulsion and resettlement.</p>
