Starting nearly a thousand years ago at the Ben Ezra Synagogue of Old Cairo, worn-out books and scrolls were put in the genizah, a storage area for sacred texts.  In The Illustrated Cairo Genizah: A Visual Tour of Cairo Genizah Manuscripts at Cambridge Univertity Library (Gorgias Press, 2024), Nick Posegay and Melonie Schmierer-Lee tell the story of the genizah and show the journey of discovery through more than 125 years of research, showcasing over 300 stunning full-colour images, revealing forgotten stories of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities over a millennium of world history. In the nineteenth century, Scottish sisters Agnes and Margaret Smith brought manuscript pages back to England where Solomon Schechter recognized the lost Hebrew book of Ben Sira, also known as Ecclesiasticus or Sirach. Schechter then traveled to Cairo and toured the genizah, an attic chamber he described as a "windowless and doorless room of fair dimensions. The entrance is ... through a big, shapeless hole reached by a ladder."  Over the millenia, hundreds and thousands of documents were buried in this attic crypt, vividly described by Schechter: "It is a battlefield of books, and the literary production of many centuries had their share in the battle ... some of the belligerents have perished outright, and are literally ground to dust in the terrible struggle for space". In addition to images of the book of Ben Sira, the collection includes fragments of the oldest known Latin edition of St Augustine's sermons, Origen's Hexapla, and a 5th or 6th century copy of Aquila's translation of Kings, approximately 60 manuscripts written by Moses Maimonides, and a medieval copy of the 'Damascus Document' which was confirmed as an ancient text by the discovery of another copy among the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered at Qumram in 1947.  See visual examples of the collection online.

In today's episode, Lisa and Laura dive into Lesson 2 of Ordering Your Priorities, Priority 1: Your Relationship with God. If we desire to live lives of purpose, happiness, and fulfillment, we have got to get this priority right! Why? Because only God knows what will make us happy and what we most long for. But let's be honest: it can be hard to trust God. When we have experienced hurt or abandonment, putting God first doesn't come easily. If this is your struggle, join Lisa and Laura in this powerful conversation and discover how a personal relationship with God changes everything for the better. Open your Heart to our key Scripture.  Psalm 91:1–4: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.  Sirach 51:2: You have been my protector and helper, and have delivered my body from destruction, and from the snare of a slanderous tongue, from lips that utter lies. Deuteronomy 32:10–12: He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions, the Lord alone did lead him. Ecclesiasticus 51:31: Draw near to me, ye unlearned, and gather yourselves into the house of discipline. (Douay-Rheims) Psalm 5:3: O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case for you and watch. Psalm 143:8: Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, for in thee I put my trust. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. St. Josemaría Escrivá said, “Conquer yourself each day from the very first moment, getting up on the dot, at a fixed time, without yielding a single minute to laziness. If, with God's help, you conquer yourself, you will be well ahead for the rest of the day. It's so discouraging to find oneself beaten at the first skirmish... “The heroic minute. It is the time fixed for getting up. Without hesitation: a supernatural reflection and… up! The heroic minute: here you have a mortification that strengthens your will and does no harm to your body.”  What lie plays in your mind that says this is impossible for you to do? What could you change in your nighttime routine in order to faithfully give God the first part of your day? Show mentions. Henri Nouwen, Finding My Way Home: Pathways to Life and the Spirit. Dan Burke, “From the Occult to Catholic: Love builds a bridge for Truth,” YouTube video. Steven Furtick, “Sometimes God gave you what you needed in that Bible verse you didn't read.” Anna Golden, “Psalm 91.” Let's stay connected. Don't miss an episode.
