(Guys, it’s a joke, it’s a meme, I honour your ability to take anything seriously that you please, but when there are finite days on earth I only beg to ask whether this dumbass meme is what you choose to take seriously. Anyway, following in the traditions of my ancestors,I love kitniyot. I like this meme because it makes me feel sexy and dangerous for eating rice, which is a thrill I do not often enjoy)

Creatures from the Kennicott Bible, an illuminated manuscript copy of the Hebrew Bible, copied in A Coruña, Spain in 1476 by the calligrapher Moses ibn Zabarah and illuminated by Joseph ibn Hayyim 🔮🦇👼🏼🐉🐻🐊🐒🦚🪞

It is regarded as one of the most exquisite illuminated manuscripts in Hebrew and one of the most lavishly illuminated Sephardic manuscript of the 15th century. According to the historian Cecil Roth, one of the most outstanding aspects of this copy is the close collaboration it shows between the calligrapher and the illuminator, rare in this type of work.

In 1476, Isaac, a Jewish silversmith from Coruña, son of Salomón de Braga, commissioned an illuminated Bible from the scribe Moses ibn Zabarah who lived in Coruña with his family on behalf of his patron. He spent ten months to scribe the Bible, writing two folios on a daily basis. Illumination of the manuscript was the responsibility of Joseph ibn Hayyim, who is remembered thanks to this work.

The first documentation of the Jewish presence dates to 1375. Jewish population in A Coruña grew rapidly throughout the Late Middle Ages. It is thought that after the persecution of Jews in Castile, a large number of Jewish people took refuge in Galicia. The Jewish community in Coruña traded with Castile and Aragon, and in 1451 they contributed to the rescue of the Murcian Jews with a large sum of money, which could demonstrate the prosperity of the community.

Leonora Carrington’s (b. UK, 1917-2011) “Dybbuk Suite”, after the Yiddish play “The Dybbuk/דער דיבוק” by S. Ansky.

"The Dybbuk" relates the story of a young bride possessed by the the malicious spirit of her dead beloved on the eve of her wedding. First staged in in Warsaw by the "Vilna Troupe", it is considered a seminal play in the history of Yiddish theatre. The story is based on years of research by Shloyme Ansky, who travelled between villages in Belarus and Ukraine, documenting Jewish folk beliefs and tales. The Dybbuk is known as the dislocated soul of a dead person in Eastern European Ashkenazi mythology, deriving from the Hebrew word דִּיבּוּק‎ dibbūq, meaning 'a case of attachment', which is a nominal form of the verb דָּבַק‎ dābaq 'to adhere' or 'cling'.
