Visited the Freer Gallery’s Geniza collection today! My first time seeing Geniza docs in person

Also had a conversation with the wonderful curator about one day getting their stuff added to the Princeton Geniza Project —may happen sooner rather than later…

'Throwing them out would be doing a disservice and would not allow us to do the healing we need to do.' The post With surviving hostages home, some consider how to continue marking Oct. 7 in Jewish faith appeared first on RNS.

Astonishing. The experience of getting my hands on manuscripts from the Cairo #Geniza at the Bodleian. Equally mindful of the age of these #Torah and #TNK and other mss as well as the colonial framework in which they were taken and are now held. #CriticalBible

We just received the first copy of our new book! It is LARGE and it looks SO GOOD. It's a limited print run, but you can pre-order now at the link in my bio (£45/$60). They should ship in the UK in late September and the rest of the world in October. #newbooks #geniza #manuscriptmonday
