: : Mauro Perani - La Ghenizah italiana : : Il fenomeno del reimpiego dei materiali di ogni genere di manoscritto è ben noto lungo tutto il Medioevo, costituendo una parte del fenomeno più generale del riciclaggio dei materiali del libro, attestato fin dall’antichità. Mentre le grafie di tipo sefardita, con la particolare connotazione che le caratterizza, retaggio della loro derivazione dalle scritture orientali, sono in genere ben caratterizzate ed identificabili, non avviene lo stesso per quelle di tipo askkenazita e italiano, spesso influenzate le une da elementi delle altre, almeno nei manoscritti anteriori al sec. Ancora, la triplice tipologia delle scritture ebraiche, ben rappresentate sia nella forma quadrata sia in quella semicorsiva, con alcuni casi di corsiva, si combina anche con le varie tecniche di rigatura, di spillatura e di composizione dei fascicoli del manoscritto proprie di ogni area geografica. www.morasha.it /zehut/mp02_ghenizaitaliana.html   (11898 words)

Articles - Fast of the firstborn While a firstborn to both parents, or a firstborn to only the mother, must fast according to all authorities, there is a dispute among the early halakhic authorities regarding the status of a firstborn to only the father.

Parashot Nitzavim - Vayelech, Professor Yitzchak D.

Daily HALACHA by Rabbi Eli Mansour The Rosh (Rav Asher ben Yechiel, born in Germany in 1250) makes somewhat of a compromise here.
