Let’s try a little math, instead of sensationalism. 2018 – 1884 =?
Ummm… 2018-1884 = 134… not 200
1884 would mean it is 134 years old, not quite the 200 you state…
Do the math. 2018-1884=132 years. Worth much less than a 200 year old version. Circa 1818.
200 yrs old??? FAKE NEWS!!
This report must of been put out by one of those Licha Dodi masmedim who suddenly become tremendous Tzaddikim instead of helping the chazzan sing a nice tune. These same phonies, you would never catch them with a Sefer any other time of day or night. Works like magic. As soon as the Chassan hits Licha Dodi, it’s arayngiton in lernin. Pheh!
6 mile rd. resident, Your math is off too! Oh gosh! Sorry!
I looked at the catalogue. Theres Torahs and very rare seforim. Just to note. This isn’t the most interesting thing up for auction.
Great. Gifted humor. President Arthur was in office. Make America great again. Start with kethubas. We need family.
