ALLE
mydiertjes lijken
min of meer
voor hetzelfde dilemma komen
te staan: we willen gelukkig
worden, zijn en blijven, maar dat
kan pas als we ook weten wat
het betekent om ongelukkig te zijn?

Je kunt je leven pas
waarderen als je ook
het tegendeel ervan
hebt leren
kennen!

Misschien
is dit
wel het hoofdthema
van al mijn mydiverhaaltjes:
de wens om het geluk
te ontdekken en de
werkelijkheid van 't
daardoor onvermijdelijke
menselijke{r}
leed
...

On
a given
halakhic question {for
instance the question of
the purity or impurity of
a certain kind of ceramic stove},
Rabbi Eli'ezer initially tried to support his position
using the "normal" rabbinic modes of rational argument,
the very modes of argument {[tesjoevot]}
that might be said
to define rabbinic
rationality.

Also Yehoshua
haNatsri {aka haMashiakh}
by socalled 'christians' revered as "THE" son of g d
[just like the moslims honour their Muhammad as THE 'final' prophet of Allah]
used this rabbinic method of questions and answers {teshuah/acclamation/agreement}/[teshuvah/answer/return/repentment a.s.o.],
which was actually the only thing he ever did
during his three years of public action:
explain and illustrate by his every day
life the consequences of law,
Jewish traditions and
prophets?

When
that failed,
however, he didn't accept defeat,
but rather turned to another source of authority
entirely, like "miracles"
and 'heavenly
oracles'!

According to
the Talmud's version
of this [Eli'ezer's] story,
the one that we are quoting here,
Rabbi Eli'ezer was then punished
by an extremely harsh version of
excommunication, a highly unusual practice
in cases of halakhic disagreement:
"On that day, all the objects that R. Eli'ezer had declared clean
were brought and burned in fire
!
Then they took a vote
and excommunicated
him!"
