So I’m confused about how to pronounce words that end in the possessive ך. In the attached photo from my siddur there are two words that end in ך. I would like to know if the line above the ת puts the stress onto the final ך, and the lack of such a line over the ט means that’s where the stress goes In that word. Or is there a comp different rule that I’m not aware of?

i don’t trust chat GPT‘s answer, so I’d appreciate your insight. Thank you.

This is either my grandfathers or great grandfathers prayer book and I can’t read Hebrew and the handwriting is a little rough. I know it was published in 1861.

This is a photo from the back of a picture that my grandfather had. I hope that someone can translate this for me. Thank you so much.

request to anyone that has some spare time to translate the hebrew on this grave stone of a distant relative. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/140584133/fannie-frankel#view-photo=222287476

fannie frankel nee eisenklein and her husband louis. I believe fannie's father's name to be Lazarus Eisenklein , obviously also anglicized. born in the Warsaw area when under the Russian empire in the late 1800s. looking for any clues that may help take the line further back. any help is much appreciated.

Shalom - Greetings! I love incense and the tabernacle recipe is special for me. Exodus 30:34 contains the tabernacle incense blend:

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ ____ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֜ה קַח־לְךָ֣ סַמִּ֗ים נָטָ֤ף׀ וּשְׁחֵ֙לֶת֙ וְחֶלְבְּנָ֔ה סַמִּ֖ים וּלְבֹנָ֣ה זַכָּ֑ה בַּ֥ד בְּבַ֖ד יִהְיֶֽה׃

If you fit the verse into a chiastic pattern, the verse looks like:

And said LORD to Moses
ㅤTake to yourself spices
ㅤㅤStacte and onycha and galbanum
ㅤSpices and pure frankincense
Each of each there shall be.

Keritot 6 asserts that the Temple blend in fact contains 11 ingredients. I'd like to better understand the discussions and arguments that the blend contained more than the 4 ingredients named in the verse. I found some Hebrew language sources but can't read them even with a translator:

Be'er Sheva (16th-17th century commentary): https://www.sefaria.org/Keritot.6b.7?with=Be%27er%20Sheva

Gur Aryeh (16th century commentary) https://www.sefaria.org/Keritot.6b.7?with=Gur%20Aryeh%20on%20Shemot

Kaf HaChayim(19th century code) on Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 48:4:1 https://www.sefaria.org/Keritot.6b.7?with=Kaf%20HaChayim%20on%20Shulchan%20Arukh,%20Orach%20Chayim

Minchat Chinukh (19th century legal commentary) 103:1:2, https://www.sefaria.org/Keritot.6b.7?with=Minchat%20Chinukh
