Contributed by: Isaac Gantwerk Mayer (transcription & naqdanut), Isaac Gantwerk Mayer (translation), Elyaqim haPayyetan

אֶת כּוֹס יְשׁוּעוֹת | Et Kos Yeshu`ot, a Havdalah song by Elyaqim

Contributed by: Neria Haroeh (translation), Ḳaraite Jews of America, Elyaqim haPayyetan

A zemirah for havdallah by an otherwise unknown rabbinic payyetan known only by his signature acrostic.

רָנּוּ שָׁמַֽיִם | Ronnu shamayim, a piyyuṭ celebrating the Decalogue by Elyaqim

Contributed by: Stephen Belsky, Elyaqim haPayyetan, Ḳaraite Jews of America, Aharon N. Varady (transcription), Anonymous (translation)

This piyyut is signed “Elyaqim Ḥazaq.” Alas, we do not know who this Elyaqim was or even whether he was a rabbinic or Karaite Jew. The piyyut has been preserved for us in the Karaite cycle (Vilna printing press, 1852, Vol. IV, p. 135.) and there are several other piyyutim signed with his name.
