    This poem was written at the yeshivah of the brothers Yom Tov and Hayyim Sanguinetti in
    Modena in honor of the completion of the study of the Talmudic tractate Shevu’ot. These
    occasions were marked with celebration and feasting, often accompanied by the composition of
    such festive verse. The rabbi referred to in the poem is Rabbi Ishmael ha-Kohen of Modena
    (1723-1811), a world-renowned halakhic authority. The text is written in a fluid Italian cursive
    Hebrew, set in an ornate printed frame.
