Genizahs can be found in synagogues and cemeteries, the most famous of which is in Cairo, from the 800s. Here, I'm using it to riff on adventure tropes. And, I'm fudging history. Under Alexander III, mandatory conscription began at 21 and lasted six years. Isaak's not 21, but in earlier generations Jews were conscripted at 12 (i.e. Isaak) for 25 years. It was, in modern parlance, messed up.
