De overeenkomsten
& verschillen tussen joden, christenen & moslims, TeNaCH,
Nieuw Testament & Koran zijn & blijven dus net zo merkwaardig als de kenmerken
van zwarte, bruine, witte, rode & gele mensen & alle rassen,
volkeren, culturen van alle tijden
& plaatsen!
Hoe
zou je elkaar ooit
echt kunnen leren waarderen zonder iets af te weten van 't verleden,
om in ons heden 'n wat betere basis te leggen
voor de toekomst?
Terug naar Rabbi Eli'ezer
die zich in minstens drie verschillende richtingen tegelijk
kon laten inspireren & interesseren: de geschiedenis is vol van cross-overs,
wederzijdse beinvloedingen &
talloze afscheidingen!
The Rabbi's seeming refusal
to obey the laws of the Sabbath
in his apparent desire to retain his [zie ook allerlei vorige mydiverhaaltjes her & der i/d afgelopen jaren] phylacteries seems also to mark him as being "out of his mind," that is, suspect,
in a mystical & perhaps
sectarian state.
His answer,
belligerent as it is,
thus marks him as "within" because it is a rational answer based on a good halakhic principle.
He is saying
"Do not risk
a major violation of the Sabbath,
a violation that results in the punishment of stoning,
in order to see about the removal of my phylacteries since wearing of phylacteries on Sabbath
is only a very minor
violation!"
Since his answer
behaves according to the laws of ordinary rabbinic rationalities,
the Rabbis conclude that he has "returned" from his mystical, sectarian,
perhaps ex hypothesi Christian
deviance.
He is now
sane again in their eyes,
a proper Pharisee in his worldview. It us not, then, about
cucumbers that the Rabbis ask him, but a perfectly ordinary question in the everyday laws of purities,
and it is his appropriate answer to this question that repatriates him into the rabbinic community,
that releases the vow of excommunication. It doesn't even finally matter
whether his answer is correct or not, but only that it obeys
the structure and strictures
of rabbinic authority.
From a literary point of view,
the fact that the last word out of his mouth is "pure"
serves iconically to signify
his repurification.
The Story
