Rabbi Joseph ben Isaac Qimhi, (1105 – 1170), was a poet, grammarian, biblical scholar and translator.
He was a member of a famous family which greatly enriched Talmudic and Hebrew literature. It was said of this family, (where there is no Kemach – flour [bread] there can be no learning [Torah]), or “were it not for the Kimchis, there would be no Torah,” a saying based on the similarity of the name Kimchi with the Hebrew word Kemach.
CONSIDER THIS
Yosef Qimhi

when he comes from the place where we piss?

SUFFER YOUR SORROW
Yosef Qimhi
Suffer your sorrow to soften the pain.
Try to resist and the sorrow remains.
