A tiny gem for World Book Day.
Measuring just 8 cm (3 inches) this tiny prayer book is bound in tortoise shell. The 18th-century Seder Tefilah–the order of prayer for divine service–was a giftto VCU’s Cabell Library from Ballad Cabell, son of author, James Branch Cabell.
Held in Special Collections and Archives, James Branch Cabell Library, Virginia Commonwealth University

Ok I finally made a new uquiz and I worked really hard on it. It’s kinda long (24 questions) but they’re pretty much all short/easy, and there’s only one quotes question but it’s kinda different. Anyways!
Thank you for following the Best Omer Ever!
I had a fun time making these Omer GIFs, and I hope you enjoyed counting with them even more!

Until next year!

Just some Arabic vocab from an Israeli kids’ textbook. 20% of the country and this language isn’t mandatory to learn in school… Absurd.
