==History== A folkloric tradition attributes Aleinu to the biblical Joshua at the Fall of Jericho. This might have been inspired by the fact that the first letters of the first four verses spell, in reverse, Hoshea'', which was the childhood name of Joshua (Numbers 13:16). Another attribution is to the Men of the Great Assembly during the Second Temple period.
