Nehemia: When I was at university, they mentioned how in ancient times they used to have hand signals, and I’m like, “Wait, wait, wait, it wasn’t ancient times! I’ve seen it!”
Marc: I’ve seen it! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Nehemia: I’ve seen it in the 20th century!
Nehemia: Shalom, and welcome to Hebrew Voices. I'm here today with a practicing scribe, Marc Michaels, AKA Mordechai Pinchas. Shalom, Marc, Mordechai, how are you?
Marc: I’m fine. Shalom Nehemia, lovely to see you again.
Nehemia: Now, last time I spoke to you, you were working as a scribe, a Jewish scribe who repairs Torah scrolls, writes the scroll of Esther, and now I'm going to say you've gone up a level in your qualifications.
Marc: Gone to the dark side!
