How to Search

General Search

Use keywords or phrases in any language to return matching or similar results across all fields. Arabic script searches will return both Arabic and Judaeo-Arabic transcription content.

Regular Expression Search

Use Hebrew or Arabic script to find precise matches in the transcriptions. See How to Search page for advanced use cases.

Cheat sheet:

  • If you're looking for a word with one missing letter, use a period. Two missing letters, use two periods or {2}. Increase the number in the curly brackets to increase the number of characters, or insert a range with a comma in between, ex. {0,5}.
  • If you don't know how many characters are missing, use .*.
  • If you know which characters you want, use square brackets to find multiple spellings, ex. [יו] for yud or vav.

    Might be a narrative about the miracle of "the splitting of the chest" (shaqq al-ṣadr) intended to be read during Mawlid celebrations—this is based on the recording of the identical text that can be found in a Facebook video (https://fb.watch/ajqp49g5TK/). The text can be found in various places online (e.g. by searching the phrase 'ولما بلغ من العمر عامين توجهت به حليمة الى مكة") but an attribution/source is harder to find.

    The writer thanks the addressee for taking care of his son, Amram, while he visited Aleppo. Eliyyahu mentions his satisfaction from his status as a judge in three communities in his town (probably the Iraqis, Shamis, and Qaraites), from his acceptance by several heads of Yeshivas in Iraq and the Exilarch (Rosh ha-Gola), and from his good relationships with the Qaraite community and the town governor. […] He went on to list individuals and institutions who could recommend and praise him, including the exilarch Hezekiah ben David and Rabbi Hāi Gaʾon, the head of the Babylonian Yeshiva of Pumbedita, who had sent him letters, encouraged him, and praised him.

    The council first summoned the woman and her husband (called her "waliyy" or "guardian"). (1) She reported that Abū Naṣr had been stalking her for years, visiting her house three or four times a day. She was frightened of him and told her husband's paternal aunt that if she ever saw Abū Naṣr visit when this woman was alone, she should come down and join them. […] Rather, "she changed her story. . . and said, 'I hated. . .'" (5) Abū l-Faraj al-Ṭaḥḥān reported to the court and attested that whenever he visited the house of his brother-in-law Abū Saʿd b. […] However, the scribe writes, because their testimony entirely derived from what the woman herself told them, there is no need to record it in this document.

    A different version of this poem is cited several hundred years later by al-Itlīdī (17th c.) (https://shamela.ws/book/408/157): وصل الكتاب فلا عدمت أناملاً عنيت به حتى تضوع طيبا ففضضته وقرأته، فوجدته لخفي أوجاع القلوب طبيبا فكأن موسى قد أعيد لأمه أو ثوب يوسف قد أتى يعقوبا — this verse is very close to the second verse in the Geniza letter: "(Your letter arriving) was as if Moses had been returned to his mother, or the garment of Joseph to Jacob."
