Hi All, I was sorting through some of my father's books and came across a stack of machzorim and an extra book that I can't identify. The sad thing about not having any hebrew. Can anyone tell me the translation for the title page?
Thank you in advance.

@BSteinhurst Siddur / of Patience / of the Meal-Offering / Master of Pearls / With the Copying of 79 (?)
In the circles: Sara, Rivka, Lea. Below: The Cave of the Machpela
Bottom: Levine-Epstein Brothers Book Publishing, Jerusalem
Strike "Patience." It's sivlonot, and I'm not sure what those are.
"Intended for brides," according to this listing
 
@MoriDowidhYa3aqov Did you have another specific book in mind?
 
@IsaacMoses @IsaacMoses thank you kindly. Now the question for tomorrow is to work out which bride in the family it might have been. The earliest machzor in the stack was from 1931.

@IsaacMoses IME ע״ט stands for עברי-טייטש, Jewish-German, i.e. Yiddish.
@DoubleAA Did your slash signify "or" or "per"?

@DoubleAA so this Siddur is meant to be a gift given by a groom-to-be to his bride-to-be?

@Isaac Moses Yes the word סיבלונות is precisely a gift for the bride

@MoriDowidhYa3aqov Unfortunately, I don't have electronic copies of those two either. I have been unable to find copies of most of the books published in Israel. However, most books in the עדה ולשון series that these books are a part of can be purchased in hard copy or electronic copy for relatively little from Magnes or elsewhere.

@IsaacMoses No clue.
 
5:27 PM
@msh210 More of an "and/or" I suppose
 
@DoubleAA Oh. "Per" may be interesting too.
@IsaacMoses Your question post proposing a state tag is +5/−0; its answer with a more specific proposition is +6/−0.
@TRiG l'havdil
(kidding)
@msh210 @DoubleAA ... for the first slash, I meant.

@kouty @DoubleAA @IsaacMoses Thank you all for the links. Now I am back to the main site to ask why such a book would be called korban mincha.
 
7:15 PM
@BSteinhurst For those wondering, that's at judaism.stackexchange.com/q/78875
 
8:02 PM
@BSteinhurst excellent
 
@msh210 Hah!

I'm looking for input on subset-dupe questions. I asked this question about the associations between choshen stones and tribes (well, sons). @DoubleAA pointed out this question, which asks about the stones including both how they were laid out and what particular stones mean. The single answer to the latter contains a link (to a source I can't read) that might contain my answer.
My question duplicates part of the other question. I don't care about the other things being asked in the other question, and answering that question requires addressing those items too.
Should my question be closed as a dupe? How have we handled this situation in the past? We sometimes close specific questions as dupes of questions that ask about the "parent concept", so to speak -- for example, a question about baking bread on Shabbat would be closed as a dupe of one about cooking on Shabbat. This feels a little different to me but maybe that's just because it's my question. Thoughts?

Q: Closing as duplicate of broader post

Y ezThis seems incredibly obvious to me, but I've been challenged on this before on the site, so I just want to make a post and form a community policy through consensus. I think that if question B is accused of being a duplicate of question A, and there is at least one answer that is a valid answe...

 
Thanks. Controversial, I see. :-(

I've made an edit to my question and left a comment on the answer to the other. It's possible mine is still a dupe.
