Endnote 2 – “My Blood of the Covenant”

See Halaka-Yomi 49: 1–14, “The Blessings for Wine”; and Encyclopedia Judaica, “Wine.” A wine called oenogarum (“wine-garum”), a word clearly related to the Hebrew enogeron, was produced elsewhere in the Roman world; the Roman gourmet Apicius advises readers to use oenogarum to counteract the saltiness of garum.
