Document Summary
Mikra = bible, to call out bnei mikra - sons of the bible. Karaites found these and copied them - allowing them to reach the genezia in cairo. Terms that are the same as those found in the dss - proved the antiquity and legitimacy of these non-rabbinic customs. Historical progress - seen as bad by the rabbis - the karaites they thought that we get closer to the truth with time. Sense that every person has to study themselves. Slogan on the slide - search thee well in the scripture and do not rely on my opinion. Karaites intensely promote residents in the holy land. Ascetic lifestyle - mourning for the jewish people is exile.
