Kommentar zu Berakhot 4:6
הָיָה יוֹשֵׁב בִּסְפִינָה אוֹ בְקָרוֹן אוֹ בְאַסְדָּה, יְכַוֵּן אֶת לִבּוֹ כְּנֶגֶד בֵּית קֹדֶש הַקָּדָשִׁים:
Wenn er in einem Boot, in einem Wagen oder auf einem Asda saß [viele zusammengebundene und befestigte Holzstücke, die zum Segeln auf einem Fluss verwendet wurden. (In der Schrift (II Chronik 2:15) werden diese "Rafsodoth" genannt)], er lenkt seine Gedanken auf das Allerheiligste.
