Fun day at the shop! The most recognizable voice of the Jewish community, Nachum Segal, visited Mizrahi Bookstore. Was honored to give him the royal tour.
Satmar censorship in plain sight:
In the first edition of Divrei Yoel, Rโ Yoel Teitelbaum explicitly rejects inventing new prohibitionsโeven allowing local Israeli elections case-by-case.
In later editions? That paragraph vanished.
Todayโs โofficialโ stance says all participation is forbidden.
โก๏ธ A handwritten siddur rooted in the teachings of Harav Yitzchak Luria, ztโl โ the Arizal โ will be displayed publicly for the first time beginning Lag BโOmer at the ANU Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv.
The 16th-century manuscript, reproduced in the museumโs 18th century copy, is particularly fitting for the Lag BโOmer season. It was the Arizal who is chiefly credited with emphasizing the importance of the day, and the siddur preserves his kavanos โ the meditative intentions composed to direct oneโs thoughts during tefillah.

The Haggadah Collection At The Library Of Agudas Chassidei Chabad
The prestigious Haggadah collection of Chabadโs Central Library began in December 1924, when the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, acquired the collection of bibliographer Shmuel Wiener, consisting of approximately five thousand rare books. The acquisition included some four hundred printed editions of the Passover Haggadah. Since then, the Library has added many more to its collection.
Today, the Library houses about two thousand editions of the Haggadah published over the past 450 yearsโapproximately half of all Haggadahs published during this time.

The fun thing about Hebrew is that it didn't change that much over the years. I just read a 1000-year-old letter in Hebrew about Greeks, Russians, Vikings, Arabs and Khazars and could understand it perfectly. Amazing to have that direct connection to the past.
