Writin' Papers

In the course of my searching out topics of interest in Jewish texts, I have come across some interesting topics, which has been good. I realized that some of my interests have yet to be written about. Thus, I realized I could not only altruistically contribute to the scholarship of these Jewish texts, but also garner some recognition for my ideas in understanding these things. In any event, I felt I would post about my article ideas. Most of them are not quite close to being written, though there are a couple that are.
