As always, a fascinating piece-I love the way you illuminate the facts about Ginsberg as you also point out the potential for fiction writers to use as creative inspiration. I sometimes try to do this with Celtic/Norse mythology- I will be getting and reading ‘Legends of the Jews.’ I think of your country each day and wish safety and peace to you. Thank you for sharing this knowledge. 🙏🏼🥰✨✨
My hope is to someday try and write a fantasy novel based on Enoch and other figures from Jewish Mythology. But I need to finish the one I'm writing about the Tarot :)
There are pictures of God in the Tegernsee Haggadah, recently republished under the title the Monk's Haggadah. Its called the Monk's Haggadah because a monk commented on it. Its possible the illustrations were done by Christians, but that's always a possibility with illuminated manuscripts.
Could you link to these pictures? I'm familiar with other pictures in this manuscript but I didn't know about the ones with God and I'd love to see them!
Fascinating article, Chen. I will be picking up a copy of Ginzberg's work!
My job here is done 😎

Dear Tracy, thank you!

I knew nothing about him. Incredible work indeed. You are absolutely right…. All this could be an inspirational source. Thanks🙏
Remarkable essay, Chen. I'm going to read Lore of the Jews. if you write that fantasy novel, I would very much like to read it.

I sent you one on FB messenger. Its actually only one picture, not "pictures." Still very unusual.
Remarkable! Not only will I look for this, but now I know what to give for Hanukkah.
