Esdras (Ezra)
Create the Great Book with our AIHistory register · custodian, not owner
Priest and scribe, he led the second return from exile and restored the study of the Torah in Jerusalem. The Talmudic tradition (Sanhedrin 21b) holds that "had the Torah not been given through Moses, it could have been given through Ezra." He founded the Great Assembly (Knesset ha-Gedolah).

The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Esdras (Ezra) give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
You know a date — a remembrance, a hilloula, the anniversary of a departure? Give it its day
