Rachel is 50% done with Fear No Pharaoh: American Jews, the Civil War, and the Fight to End Slavery

DNF but will come back to it when I can get it from the library again. Very interesting and compelling.

Rachel is on page 915 of 965 of The Books of Jacob

The page count this is funny in this case because the numbers descend. So I’ve just started. I am totally distracted by typos in the Hebrew. For example the English translation references shin instead of samech a few times. Most notably in the explanation of a well known Midrash on the word “Pardes”. (Page 917) Anyone notice this?
