Rabbi Mark Glickman introduces us to the Cairo Genizah, the former storehouse for hundreds of thousands of medieval Jewish manuscripts. He’s writing a book about the place and the trove of documents it housed for centuries. On this week’s history podcast you get the long version of my interview him. A shorter version ran on the radio show on April 23rd.
