Here's a new note -- (I have input the AA set in reverse numeric order, so =aa7 was the first and this, =aa1 , is the last of the set to be input) -- OK: With all undue modesty, and for fear of ruffling the feathers of a blackbird, I both Deep6 and denigrate my Footnotes, with 'Caveat Tabbycat' (Snias Alert) and 'Caveat Blackhat' (I called that a 'heresy' alert, but that's really unfair to myself, these are not heresies, heaven forfend -- for heresy does exist, and its nothing to play games with, and least not until, like Shiva, you can walk through a hardware store and taste the wares as we all do in a greengrocer's -- its so difficult to get tasty grapes nowadays -- -- so what I got in my footnotes ain't heresies, its cross_references to other spiritual / religious traditions. So maybe that ain't your cup of tea, I've mostly put it where you won't trip on it (or, like the doormouse, fall into it). Like, we all best walk our own trails, and if my education in religious Judaism had extended to the end of the alphabet -- I am by now at least up to Dalet -- I would maybe be on your trail too, inserting text from Reb Nachman rather than noting analogous teachings from PVK -- but I ain't, not until they figure out a way I can pick my own gilguls and take my laptop with. So what I set out to say, before tripping and spacing out -- when I wake up the first thing I'm gonna do is walk over to the table and turn on the tanur for a cup of Chico d'Oro -- they say its the best in Switzerland, but I can get better beans in Modi'in City -- is: At least in this set of footnotes, there's a lot of pretty good stuff, even, I think, from the standpoint of traditional religious Judaism. OK, back to the salt mines. ---------------------------------- R. Shlomo Carlebach, Input of RSC Manuscript (Ms.) AA1 Draft as indicated by final letter Final docname to be =sc_aa1 Notes to be Deep6's to =scsa_aa1 Flying Edit, if any, to be =sc_e_aa1 To be Posted to my (sa=Steve Amdur) Website #3 i.e.: www.geocities.com/73122c I am greatful to Miriam Gal-Or for having sent me this and other xerox manuscripts from my Collection at Doberdane Estates, Mevo Modi'in. I assert no claims upon this nor any other RSC material that I have worked on, but acknowlege that others may have asserted, or may assert, such claims. I ask that anyone using this material note its docname as Source This cluster of transcripts includes Ms. AA7, AA6, AA5 , AA4, AA3, AA2, AA1 Ms. AA7 is December 1974. All the rest of this cluster is Summer 1973. Transcriber not identified. Apparently the same transcriber for all Mss. in this cluster. This manuscript is listed in my inventory of the Witt collection. (=inv0494a + =inv0494b) Those invdocs are included in =in94964.zip, which is on my Website, www.geocities.com/sa73122a , /sa73122 , /sa73122c ------------------ Here is my listing of these mss.: From =inv0494a INVENTORY OF R.

That inventory is included on my Website, www.geocities.com/sa73122a This manuscript I xeroxed from the BZ Collection, which he copied from the HH Collection, which I duplicate of a part of the Witt Collection. I think Hatzkala (one of the H's of HH) had it first, from the HLP. ------------------------------------------------------------------ EDITORIAL NOTES; This will be a verbatim input of the transcript, but in several respects not a literal one. I will vary puncuation ad lib, to try to bring out the logic of what RSC is saying. I will vary ad lib the transliteration of Hebrew words that are given in English transliteration. For Hebrew words given in Hebrew script, I use my transliteration system, which is case-sensitive such that each Hebrew letter is represented by only one possible Roman letter or letter_pair, and where vowels arae inserted ad lib. I follow the usual equivalents for nedkudot (Sfard, ie Israeli, not AshkeNosey ) when those are given -- and so I use T not s for Tav. (Where tet is t , lower- case). The transcriber uses Hebrew script rather than phonetic transliteration for RSC's Hebrew words. Unfortunately the transcriber sometimes mis_writes the Hebrew script letters, and sometimes mis-spells the Hebrew words, and does not add nekudot. And anyhow, I can barely read Hebrew script letter-by-letter. So in short, if the Hebrew words on this input are incomprehensible, go back to the Ms., or to the tape if it exists. I am inputting this cluster of Mss. in reverse numeric order -- the first I input was AA7 . So my introductory notes are modified in reverse Ms. numeric order. -----------------------------------------------------------------
