Hello, I’m looking for a different bible than what I have, (mine for example does not have Sirach 7:40). Douay-Rheims Bible was recommended to me. There appears to be differences in this bible depending on who the publisher is. Can you please make a recommendation with a specific publisher?

Saint Benedict Press used to do nice versions, as did Baronius Press?

Thank you. I’ll check it out and try to buy some of those.

Tisha B'av and Gedalia's Fast are still celebrated iirc. I haven't been doing Jewish stuff for a while. I appreciate the ember days connection to the solstices and equinoxes as a Pagan.

So is the dietary rule for ember days in lent any different than a regular day in lent?

I don’t think so, not if you’re fasting and abstaining from meat on those regular days.
