Jewish History

By order of the Pope, the Talmud was burned in Venice on the 13th and 14th of MarCheshvan, 1553 (Minchah Belulah, Deuteronomy 33:2). The reason given was that the Talmud contained statements heretical to the Christian faith. Venice boasted many famous Hebrew printing houses, including that of Daniel Bomberg, an Italian gentile who published the Talmud there during the years 1519–1523.

Daily Thought

The Etrog grows on its tree for an entire year.

It grows from the loving summer sunlight
and from the cold winter darkness.

It grows from the furious autumn winds
and from the caresses of spring rain.

From all that comes to it, it grows.

And that is beauty.

Be an Etrog.
