Detailed
Description		    Poem in honor of a wedding by R. Moses Hayyim Luzzatto (Ramhal, 1707–1746). Ramhal’s prominence as a kabbalist, writer of ethical works (Mesillat Yesharim), and leader of a group of religious thinkers, overshadows his achievements as a poet and dramatist. Nevertheless, his use of the Hebrew language is masterly, revealed through rich and flowing imagery. Migdal Oz uses commonplace love plots to give expression to poetic sentiments far beyond the conventional plots.
          
Paragraph 2    ... הובא לביה"ד ע"י... ר' אברהם יהושע העשיל בן... ר' יהודא גרשון ...
