Today the 20th of Shevat , Jan. 27 in Jewish History


Today the 20th of Shevat in 1523, the first printed edition of Tzror HaMor. The Tzror Hamor is a commentary on the Torah (Bible) by Rabbi Avraham Sebag, containing ordinary thoughts and mystical Torah thoughts. It was published in Venice, in the aftermath of the Spanish expulsion when Jews were forcibly converted to Christianity.


Rabbi Avraham Sebag had been expelled from Spain in 1492, and made the unfortunate choice of fleeing to Portugal, where he was persecuted and saw his two sons forcibly baptized and taken from him. In order to save his manuscripts from confiscation and destruction he buried them somewhere, and he never saw them again. Rabbi Sebag eventually made his way to Africa where he managed to rewrite some of his works. It was this edition of Tzror HaMor that was published in 1523. until today, this work is being studied by all well noted Jewish scholars.
