<p>This is a faithful transcription of <em>Ribon HaOlamim</em> (a/k/a &#8220;Rebbi Yoḥanan&#8217;s Prayer&#8221;) from the <a href="https://opensiddur.org/siddurim/rambam/maimonides-seder-tefillot/">Seder Tefilot Kol Hashanah of the RaMBaM</a>, according to the early printed manuscript Constantinople 1509. Vocalization, citations, and translation added by Aharon Varady (<em>shgiyot mi yavin ministarot nakeni</em>) following extant printed texts. This prayer appears with a number of subtle variations across manuscripts of the Mishnah Torah Seder Ahavah, and more obvious differences appear across the nusḥaot witnessed in many siddurim. We have chosen this variation as it includes TaNaKh references not found in other versions, as well as a repetition of Deuteronomy 6:4 (not found elsewhere), while it omits much of the amendation found in later versions. The Open Siddur Project welcomes transcriptions of historical variations from all nusḥaot. Please add your transcription and translation to the Open Siddur Project&#8217;s liturgy database.</p>

<p>And where in the Yom Kippur prayers does one say the confession? An individual says it after his Amida prayer, and the prayer leader says it in the middle of the Amida prayer. The Gemara asks: What does one say; what is the liturgy of the confession? Rav said: One says the prayer that begins: &#8220;You know the mysteries of the universe,&#8221; in accordance with the standard liturgy. And Shmuel said that the prayer begins with: &#8220;From the depths of the heart.&#8221; And Levi said that it begins: &#8220;And in your Torah it is written, saying,&#8221; and one then recites the forgiveness achieved by Yom Kippur as stated in the Torah. <strong>Rabbi Yoḥanan said that it begins: &#8220;Master of the Universe&#8221; (<em>Ribon HaOlamim</em>).</strong>

Eliyahu Rabbah, Parshah 19</p>
<p>In another comment on “That faint for hunger” (Lam. 2:19), “hunger is taken to allude to hunger for words of Torah, as it is said, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine to the land, not a famine of bread.. but of hearing the words of the Lord (Amos 8:11). [When he seeks to satisfy his hunger for words of Torah], a man, it is said, should study Torah with fear and reverence, with trepidation and awe. Let him look at himself and become aware that in a little while he will die. Let him lift his eyes to heaven and say: Who created the stars in the firmament and gave to each one its place, to each one its way and its course? How many towers did the kingdom of Rome build, but Who smote them and toppled them to the ground? Who kicked at the first tower, <span class="footnote_referrer"><a role="button" tabindex="0" onclick="footnote_moveToReference_16541_1('footnote_plugin_reference_16541_1_25');" onkeypress="footnote_moveToReference_16541_1('footnote_plugin_reference_16541_1_25');" ><sup id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_16541_1_25" class="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text">[25]</sup></a><span id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_16541_1_25" class="footnote_tooltip"> the tower of Babel, significance of toppled towers in Gen. 11 – note Isa. 30:25&nbsp;</span></span><script type="text/javascript"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_16541_1_25').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_16541_1_25', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'center right', relative: true, offset: [0, 0], });</script>, so that the top of it landed in one spot and its bulk in another spot with twenty-one miles between the two? Upon such deeds as these, [O Israel], “thy heart shall muse in awe: Where is He that weighed [the stars], where is He that counted the towers” (Isa. 33:18). In musing thus, <strong>a man will feel awe of heaven at all times, will acknowledge the truth [of Torah] and will speak its truth in his heart. He will rise early each and every day and say: Sovereign of all worlds! Not because of our righteous acts do we lay our supplications before You, but because of Your abundant mercies, etc., [for as you promised], “At that time I will bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you be a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord” (Zeph. 3.20).</strong>

					<description><![CDATA[A Yevanic (Judeo-Greek) translation of the popular Passover song, Ḥad Gadya.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="english" lang="eng-Latn" style="font-size: 1.2em;">
Ḥad Gadya has a place in Seder tables throughout the Jewish world, and in many communities it was read in translation. This translation is in Yevanic, also known as Judeo-Greek, the traditional language of the Romaniote communities of the former Byzantine Empire. Despite massive linguistic pressure from Ladino, Yevanic was preserved as a spoken Jewish language by the Romaniote Jewish communities, and is still spoken by some Jews in Ioannina. This text is also transcribed in a Hebrew phonemic script based on the spellings used in the medieval and early modern era by Yevanic-speaking Jews.

<p>The earliest known appearance of “Ḥad Gadya,” by an unknown author, can be found in the Prague Haggadah (1526). The text of the poem is in a form of playful Aramaic and it is accompanied by <a href="https://opensiddur.org/miscellanea/had-gadya/">the lyrics in medieval Yiddish</a>.<span class="footnote_referrer"><a role="button" tabindex="0" onclick="footnote_moveToReference_42313_2('footnote_plugin_reference_42313_2_1');" onkeypress="footnote_moveToReference_42313_2('footnote_plugin_reference_42313_2_1');" ><sup id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_42313_2_1" class="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text">[1]</sup></a><span id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_42313_2_1" class="footnote_tooltip"> The Jewish Encyclopedia (1906, NY) vol. 8 page 190 s.v. “Had Gadya” calls it German.&nbsp;</span></span><script type="text/javascript"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_42313_2_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_42313_2_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'center right', relative: true, offset: [0, 0], });</script> It is unclear which, if either, came first — the Yiddish or the Aramaic. The Aramaic above below follows the text as it appears in the Prague Haggadah (1526). The Aramaic has been vocalized according to the Prague Haggadah (1590). Besides the transcription of the Aramaic with its vocalization, I have also added a translation sourced from Eve Levavi Feinstein&#8217;s <a href="https://opensiddur.org/compilations/festival-guides-and-haggadot/passover-seder/haggadah-for-pesah-an-english-translation/">Passover Haggadah translation</a>. &#8211;Aharon N.
