The Missing Letter


Our Mesorah has nine times a 谞讜谉 讛驻讜讻讛 (upside down letter 谞) in 转谞"讱. Twice in Bamidbar 10:35 (讜讬讛讬 讘谞住讜注) and seven times in Tehillim.

The last Rashi in this week's Parsha writes that
 "- 讛谞讜谉 讛驻讜讻讛 " 

In our 诪住讜专讛 both The Aleppo & The Leningrad Codex,(
before Rashi) there is no 谞讜谉 讛驻讜讻讛 at the end of  Parshas 谞讞.

The 讘讬转 讬讜住祝 
讬讜"讚 住' 注专讛 quotes from the 专砖讘"讗 that our Sifrei Torah are kosher even though we have no 谞讜谉 讛驻讜讻讛.

  1. Once again, thank you for showing me
    how little I know, which helps me
    to gain precious humility :-)

    The Progressive Movement and Anti-Semitism

    BLACK WWII SOLDIER SAVED BY JEWISH DOCTOR

    There are elementary schoolchildren in Earl’s neighborhood who need to hear some of his stories.

    They should hear about the time when Earl [an African American] was on Okinawa, “the rock” [during World War II].

    He complained about segregation in the [American] Army and was thrown in the stockade [army prison] for insubordination.

    One of his friends slipped out of the barracks at night and low-crawled to the fence line outside Earl’s cell.

    His friend told Earl that he had overheard the commanding officer say that they were going to find a way to provoke Earl when he was on work detail, make Earl attack one of the guards, and then they would shoot him [dead].

    They said: “That man will not leave the rock alive.”

    They also need to hear Earl tell his story about the Jewish doctor on the [USA Army] base who did not want to see anyone punished on account of prejudice.

    The doctor risked his own career, got Earl off the rock [Okinawa], and saved Earl’s life.

    He also – to hear Earl tell it – changed Earl’s own prejudiced view of people who were Jewish.
