How I Got Here- Part 7: How History Showed Me I Would Disappear 2 Citations I took a class my freshman year at SUNY Alabny called ?Survey of Jewish Civilization?. Like many classes I took in college, I took it because I was interested in learning the subject, and sat amongst dozens of students who were alreay familiar with the subject and took it for the easy ?A?. But I digress? I made a discovery during this class, and I really have no idea how to interpret it any other way.

Shaving specifically for a meis 1 Citation I've seen this before, and it does seem to make sense on a peshat level based on the pesukim in Torah as well as various pesukim in Nach, but anyway, this is propounded by Shadal as peshat, after Ibn Ezra.

Further thoughts on Lo Tevaaru Esh 1 Citation As I noted in the previous post , I do not find the Karaite explanation of Lo Tevaaru Esh compelling at all, and indeed think it somewhat ridiculous.

Karaites in Byzantium: A Fifty Year Retrospective 1 Citation Zvi Ankori?s Karaites in Byzantium: the Formitive years, 970-1100 was published fifty years ago and remains an important text in the field. To this day Karaites are still at the margins of Jewish studies, a Jewish sect that arose sometime in the eight century which shows up from time to time but of no great consequence.
