@IsamuHartman @onthemainline Where was the sefer torah from? I shared your ואנוהו pic with my brother (a sofer) but couldn't tell him anything more.

[Miryam Brand @MiryamBrand]

Tisha Be'Av is coming. Have you wondered how Eicha compares with other ancient lamentations?
Check out my recent class to find out! https://t.co/KT0kmYkPgg
