This is going to be a really interesting walk down the Sabbatean memory-hole… Buckle in. == Let’s start with what prompted this post, namely the Rav’s shiur on the Get of Cleves, which you can read HERE and HERE. Let’s start with the main story of what happened, with dates and names, and then with […]
Continuing with the second part of the translated comments from the Rav. You can read Part 1 HERE. There is a ton of hints here about real Jewish history, BH, I will put together a separate post trying to fill out more of the picture. I’m sure we’ll all learn a lot…. Enjoy! == R […]

It was four inches long, unmissable, and just perched itself on the iron railing that covered the toilet window. The first week, I was worried it was going to try and make a break for it into the house, but […]
