It is a story about a father whose daughter’s dress burns to ashes, and who throughout the story attempts, unsuccessfully, to cover her nakedness. As the article shows, the story can be defined as symbolic, with a connotative level open to interpretation as well as biblical foundations and symbols that express its hidden level.  }, doi = {10.4467/20843925SJ.16.011.5670}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/scripta-judaica-cracoviensia/article/at-the-outset-of-the-day-mystical-aspects-of-clothing-and-books-in-the-work-of-s-y-agnon} }
