Page 328: Ezra and Nehemiah were not prophets. Even if we accept the ancient tradition that identifies Ezra with Malachi, in his own book Ezra never presents himself as a prophet but instead as a scholar, a priest and a representative of Artaxerxes.

The Talmudic reference provided does not in fact discuss accidental damages but accidental homicide. Normally the accidental killer is confined to a sanctuary city, but Abba Saul exempts accidental killers who killed while engaged in a mitzvah such as disciplining a child or a student.The Talmud even exempts a father or a teacher from liability for damages accidentally caused by such punishment (Makkot 8b).

The sect (the Karaites) do not follow a lunar calendar any more than than Talmudic Jews do and they intercalate their calendar to keep up with the seasons. The difference between Karaites and Talmudists is that the former intercalate empirically while the latter do so based on traditional calculations.The sect follows a lunar-based calendar rather than the intercalated rabbinic one.

Purim can only be "post-biblical" if we exclude Esther from the Bible, but both Talmudic and Karaite Jews include Esther in the Bible so it is very strange that the author calls Purim "post-biblical." Additionally, Karaites do celebrate Purim, although not in the same manner as Talmudic Jews.Karaites also do not mark the post-biblical holidays of Purim and Ḥanukka.
