In fact, in the same context, Ibn Hazm twice mentions Sandalphon (pp. " Nevertheless he states that Jews worship this "smaller God" for ten days each year (p. 2 2 3 t a probable reference to the ten days of Atonement that start with the beginning of the Jewish New Year (see note 36 abovetwhich may be connected to the Jewish mystical view that Metatron took part in the creation of the world commemorated on the Jewish Rosh Hashanah festival at the beginning of each year.

In addition, he quotes extensively, in Hebrew, from the Jewish prayer book, to show that Jewish sages practically invented most of the prayers that were unknown to Moses, just as they added many laws to the Torah, thus "increasing the burden" of law upon the Jewish people--directly contradicting Deut.
