Shalom, The Gershom Scholem Collection of the National Library of Israel proudly announces the scanning and uploading of Prof. Gershom Scholem's card catalogue of Zoharic Aramaic. [http://web.nli.org.il/sites/NLI/Hebrew/collections/jewish-collection/scholem/scholem-card-catalog/PublishingImages/Scholem1_200x125.jpg] The catalogue features over 11,000 images of cards that Scholem wrote throughout his lifetime. Each card is an entry explaining one term of Zoharic Aramaic.

There are English and Hebrew introductions and explanations, including an article by Scholem's student Prof. Yehuda Liebes and a guide for deciphering the cards. We invite you to enter the world of the cards yourself and to spread the word to your readers and colleagues.
