Rav Shisler,
So far, amazing, B"H (I'm in the middle).
I don't know how old this recording is, and please forgive me for asking, but isn't "toveh" better translated as "spinning" as in spinning wool into threads that will eventually be woven into the curtain covers? It was the spinning that took place on the goats, not the weaving?
Just want to be sure for a couple of reasons, one of which is that a person who is not so familiar with Loshon haKodesh might have a hard time visualizing an act of weaving performed on a live goat.
Thank you and yasher koach! Reply

Thank you for both the positive feedback and the note on translation. You are absolutely right, "spinning" is the more accurate translation. Reply
