The Comprehensive Book.
While the Jews of Spain wrote numerous religious works in Arabic, most famously perhaps Judah Halevi’s philosophical magnum opus The Kuzari, they generally wrote their studies of Jewish law in Hebrew. An exception is The Comprehensive Book (Kitāb al-Hāwī), composed by David ben Sa’adya al-Ger and possibly the oldest halakhic compendium produced in Iberia. For centuries, it was known to scholars because it was cited by other works, but no manuscript or printed edition was available. Marc Herman describes a newly published version:
Too little, too late.
Why the IDF needs to be in the Philadelphi Corridor.
The coddling of America’s wannabe revolutionaries.
With an Assyrian winged genie.
