Reader comment on item: Sacred Trash

Submitted by JACQUES HADIDA (United States), Nov 24, 2011 at 00:23

I do believe that all wrtings found in a GENIZA are a source of knowledge and wealth that take us centuries into the past to discover al that was written.

Yes, a museum of these articles should exist if it does not already and I kow I will be delighted to see and even touch these documents, trying to read them

Great of you Daniel to have brought this most interesting aspect of our culture that not too many people know about
