Cairo Genizah fragment preserved at Yeshiva University reveals historical insights

By NYC Gazette | Oct 10, 2024

Yeshiva University Library holds a fragment of the Cairo Genizah, a small piece of paper containing part of "LeYoshev Tehilot," a piyyut recited on Yom Kippur. This fragment is attributed to Eleazar Kallir, a liturgical poet from the Land of Israel in the late sixth or early seventh century. The fragment likely dates back to the 11th century, five centuries after its original composition. Despite criticism from Abraham Ibn Ezra, Kallir's works have remained integral to Jewish liturgy for about fifteen centuries.
