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

Contributed on: 03 Jun 2022 by Stephen Belsky | Anonymous (translation) | Elyaqim haPayyetan | Ḳaraite Jews of America | Aharon N. Varady (editing/transcription) |

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. . . .
