Dear safranim,
One of our rabbis is interested in knowing as much as possible about the handmaiden of the Rabbi Yehuda Ha-Nasi story (where she smashes a vessel when he’s sick…). So far, I’ve sent him the titles/articles, below. If you know of anything else, in English, Hebrew or German, I’d greatly appreciate your letting me know.
