View Over Time - On Us As Jews
Deuteronomy 29: 9-14 (again)
As we focus again on the introduction to Moses’ last speech and the gathering of everyone, even ‘those not here” we look at different interpretations over history.
Samson Raphael Hirsch defines that we will be different.
Isaac Abravanel from 15th Century Portugal who reminds Jews that they cannot escape from being Jewish.
Rav. Abraham Kook, chief Rabbi of Palestine 1904, saw that everyone was was part of God’s plan. He was the bridge builder between the religious and secular Jews.
Rabbi Joe Edelheit points to the difficulty in standing still as the world goes faster and faster.
Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin who removes us from time and space as he links our traditions to symbols from Torah, such as the wedding to Adam & Eve.
How this discussion moved from one era to the next and then connecting the philosophies – I am still not sure - but these are the highlights of my notes from the week!
