It could be read on Yom Kippur for the avodah service, or just studied as a fascinating piece of Jewish history. . . . ![]() Shared on כ׳ בטבת ה׳תש״פ (2020-01-16) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on כ׳ בטבת ה׳תש״פ (2020-01-16) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on ט׳ באלול ה׳תשע״ח (2018-08-19) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() A derivation of the popular piyyut for the Yamim Noraim, “Mi She’anu” which references the archetypal characters of the Star Trek paracosm. . . . |
