The Aleppo Codex Celebrate

We have obtained a copy of the Aleppo Codex. The Aleppo Codex is the earliest known Hebrew manuscript comprising the full text of the Bible. It is also the most authoritative, accurate and sacred source d0ocument both for Biblical text and for its vocalization and the Massorah. The Codex was copied by the scribe, Shlomo Ben Buza'a, over 1000 years ago. The text was verified, vocalized, and provided with the Massorah by Aaron Bar-Asher. It was probably the manuscript used Maimonides when he set down the exact rules for writing the scrolls of the Torah. The Codex was written in the early 10th century, looted and transferred to Egypt at the end of the 11th century and deposited with the Aleppo Community at the end of the 14th century. It now resides in the Shrine of the Book with the Dead Sea Scrolls in Jerusalem.

A Word from the Rabbi: The Old Man in the Temple – Rabbi Jonathan Cahn Luke tells of a man named Simeon, or Shimon in Hebrew. He was a remarkable man. Simeon was old. Most older people are looking for peace and quiet. Generally, we do our seeking when we’re younger, then we just try to hold on to what we have when we’re older. But Shimon was still seeking, still looking for what the prophets spoke of, the consolation of Israel. It is one thing to seek when you’re young, but one who seeks even to the end of his life never grows old; that was Shimon’s secret. Thus God rewarded him and before he left this life, his eyes beheld what others missed: the Messiah as a baby in the Temple. Messiah said, “Seek, and you shall find.” But the original reads a little differently. It says, “Keep seeking, and you shall find.” Keep seeking. Do you want to stay young in the Lord? Be like Shimon. Keep seeking God’s face, keep seeking His presence, keep seeking His love, and keep seeking His wonders and His glory. Keep seeking, and you’ll find. Keep seeking, and you’ll never grow old. Today, keep seeking God’s face, His presence, His love, His wonders, and His glory.
