Notes

  • Epigraph: ‘My soul breaks [garesa] for the longing that it has for Your ordinances at all times’ (Psalms 119:20). It is written: ‘Breaks,’ and it is not written: Grinds, demonstrating that the soul is satisfied with breaking apart material, on a basic level, even if it does not have the opportunity to grind and analyze it in greater depth. Avodah Zarah 19a:10, Babylonian Talmud

I try to avoid them, keep them in the corner of my eye, but sometimes I turn a corner and find myself surrounded. Some of the reflections are not that different, or are materially different but not necessarily objectively more beautiful. Others are more painful to behold, fix me in their gaze.' (Adalya Nash Hussein: Editorial introduction) 2022 pg. 77-79
