[Note: S.O.Y. is simply an acronym for Students Organization of Yeshiva. ]
This sale will be going on through February 24th. The description at the S.O.Y. Seforim website reads:
The S.O.Y. Seforim Sale, the largest Jewish book sale in North America, is operated by the students of Yeshiva University. The sale provides discounted prices on the widest selection of rabbinic and academic literature, cookbooks, children’s books, music and lecture CDs, and educational software.
If you live in New York City and have an interest in Jewish and/or Hebrew literature, then this is not something you want to miss. It’s the best opportunity you’ll probably ever have to browse through the literature described above.
If you don’t live in the area, the website offers an opportunity to order online (with the caveat that you must place an order of $100 or more).
The sale is being held at the Yeshiva College campus in Washington Heights. See the website for information about how to get there.
I was using WordPress posts to study Genesis verses in a variety of languages that I’ve studied (Hebrew, Arabic and Spanish) and to look at what online commentaries had to say about those verses.
Then one day I upgraded to WordPress 2.2 and the language coding in a whole bunch of past posts turned to unrecognizable mush. I found that rather discouraging and never got around to fixing it.
This morning I stumbled across a blog post that showed a very simple fix for the problem. All a person had to do is remove four characters from the wp-config.php file.
So now the previously described code mush looks like Hebrew and Arabic again. You can see what I’m talking about here.
This may just mean that I’ll have to return to my occasional or even constant verse study exercises.
