The Getty Museum's Freakin' Amazing Ancient Hebrew Manuscript
“Freakin’ Amazing!”
Those are words I never expected to hear from Rabbi Steven Leder, the senior Rabbi at Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles (the congregation to which I belong).
Rabbi Leder was marveling at the Getty Museum’s latest acquisition, The 13th Century Rothschild Pentateuch (which is also the first Hebrew manuscript in the Getty’s collection).

The exhibition is called “Topsy Turvy,” and the figures reference Topsy, a character in Harriett Beecher Stowe’s great abolitionist novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”

The Real Jerusalem (Nir Hasson's Urshalim)
Nir Hasson covers Jerusalem for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz with particular attention to the residents of East Jerusalem.
