Recognized for his erudition in\u00a0his lifetime,\u00a0Farissol&#8217;s many pursuits included\u00a0cantor, scribe, and teacher. Deeply interested in the advancements of the Age of Discovery sweeping across Europe, he composed the first essay in Hebrew dealing with the discovery of America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Along with being a pioneering thinker, he was also an exceptional man of faith.\u00a0 In 1471 and 1480 Farissol hand-wrote two prayer books for women which contain a fascinating feminist innovation. In the prayer book as we know it today, the man reciting the morning blessings thanks God for life that is renewed each morning, for not making him a Gentile, for not making him a slave, and in the words of the prayer that has provoked countless debates, he blesses the Almighty &#8220;who has not made me a woman&#8221; or in another version &#8220;who has made me a man and not a woman.&#8221; The woman, for her part, thanks God with the words &#8220;who has made me according to His\u00a0will.&#8221; In fact, the text of the accepted blessing for women \u2013 &#8220;made me according to His will&#8221; \u2013 is not found in the Talmud, but is mentioned in the early\u2013fourteenth-century halakhic work <em>Arba&#8217;ah Turim<\/em> (lit. &#8220;Four Rows,&#8221; an important work of Jewish law by Rabbi Jacob ben Asher, known as <em>Ba&#8217;al Ha-Turim &#8211; &#8220;<\/em>Master of the Rows<em>&#8220;<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And so, 150 years after the <em>Ba&#8217;al Ha-Turim<\/em>, when Europe was moving out of the Middle Ages, Abraham Farissol wrote two Hebrew prayer books which changed the accepted wording of this morning prayer. In the age of the Renaissance, Farissol abandoned the medieval wording &#8220;made me according to His will&#8221; in favor of a more interesting, progressive verse \u2013\u00a0&#8220;who has made me a woman and not a man.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/web.nli.org.il\/sites\/nli\/english\/digitallibrary\/pages\/viewer.aspx?presentorid=MANUSCRIPTS&amp;docid=PNX_MANUSCRIPTS000043061-1#|FL69734121\">One of these books<\/a> is today kept at the National Library of Israel, while<a href=\"https:\/\/web.nli.org.il\/sites\/nli\/english\/digitallibrary\/pages\/viewer.aspx?presentorid=MANUSCRIPTS&amp;docid=PNX_MANUSCRIPTS000111204-1#|FL25560040\"> the other<\/a> is preserved at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218\" style=\"width: 562px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-218 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur1zoom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"562\" height=\"138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur1zoom.jpg 562w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur1zoom-300x74.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Farissol&#8217;s revised version in the 1480<em>\u00a0siddur<\/em>, kept at the National Library of Israel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We do not know the identities of the two women who Farissol dedicated his books to, as their names were erased from both <em>siddurs<\/em>. It is possible that Farissol wrote additional prayer books with this blessing which have not yet (or may never) come to light. It is not clear how widespread the change Farissol introduced was or whether it remained the exclusive province of the thinker. What is certain is that at least these two women walked with their heads held high, feeling proud that their Creator had chosen to make them women, and not men.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-215\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-215 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur2fullpage-1-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur2fullpage-1-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur2fullpage-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur2fullpage-1.jpg 584w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The morning blessing in the<a href=\"https:\/\/web.nli.org.il\/sites\/nli\/english\/digitallibrary\/pages\/viewer.aspx?presentorid=MANUSCRIPTS&amp;docid=PNX_MANUSCRIPTS000111204-1\"><em> siddur<\/em><\/a> kept at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_219\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-219\" style=\"width: 418px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-219 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur1fullpage-418x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"418\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur1fullpage-418x600.jpg 418w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur1fullpage-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sidur1fullpage.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The morning blessing in the<a href=\"https:\/\/web.nli.org.il\/sites\/nli\/english\/digitallibrary\/pages\/viewer.aspx?presentorid=MANUSCRIPTS&amp;docid=PNX_MANUSCRIPTS000043061-1#|FL69734121\"> s<em>iddur<\/em><\/a>\u00a0kept at the National Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you thank the Almighty for making you a man or a woman?
