Sort most recent first? חֵרֶם סְתָם | Ḥerem Stam (General Excommunication Threat) for Waylaid Goods, from HUC Ms. 453 (1730)An announcement of ḥerem stam (a general threat of excommunication) on the occurrence of stolen or waylaid goods, found in this form in a 1730 Seder Hazkarot Neshamot copied by Shabetai Sheftel ben Zalman Auerbach (HUC Ms. 453, 21r). If a community member was stolen from, they could go to the sexton (shammash), who would declare the theft and proclaim a general threat of excommunication on all who knew anything about the occurrence and failed to speak on the matter. A Mi Sheberakh for the ill, from a 1730 Seder Hazkarot Neshamot copied by Shabetai Sheftel ben Zalman Auerbach (HUC Ms. 453, 23v). Uniquely among Mi Sheberakh texts, instead of just listing ancestors, it specifies examples of divine healing from the Bible and the Gemara. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A schedule for the reading of psalms for special Shabbatot and holidays, according to HUC Ms. 453, fol. 15r, a Seder Hazkarot Neshamot copied by Shabetai Sheftel ben Zalman Auerbach from 1730. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): Ḥad Gadya has a place in Seder tables throughout the Jewish world, and in many communities it was read in translation. Probably not this one though, seeing as it was written more than five hundred years after the Tocharian language family went extinct. But maybe, in an alternate timeline, some of the Radhanites who traded along the Silk Road in the heyday of the Tocharians ended up settling in the Tarim Basin (in present-day Xinjiang/East Turkestan), and in this timeline where Tocharian survived the Jews of that region might sing something like this at their sedarim. This is a Tocharian B translation and Hebrew-script transcription of Ḥad Gadya. Unicode does not currently have Tocharian-script coverage, but in the event that it is ever introduced I’ll type it up!
