In honor of Leonard Nimoy’s 93rd birthday, I’d like to shine a light on a couple of his lesser known roles: those of Rashi and Maimonides, two great Rabbis in Jewish history.

Nimoy hugely influenced me not only by his portrayal of Spock, but through the ways he showed the world his Judaism without fear, and with nothing but love and pride.

Happy heavenly birthday, Mr. Nimoy. May your memory be a blessing. 🖖🏻

The thing I keep thinking about from queer talmud class last night is that the writings by Rashi are printed closest to the spine of the book on each page so that when the book is burned, his words are the last to be destroyed. Each printer laying out the book knowing that it will be burned. The consciousness of the pervasive will to destroy us being woven into the fabric of the living intergenerational conversation of our holy teachings.

He founded a yeshiva in Troyes and thousands of students came to learn from him. He lived through the First Crusades and watched his friends and family murdered by Crusaders on their murderous path to the Holy Land. This influenced his commentary. He passed away at the age of 65 due to health problems in Troyes. 

Rashi’s commentary became famous due to his synthesis of both literal and drash (form of Biblical exegesis) interpretations of the Torah. He uses simple language to explain the meanings of words while including both classic Rabbinic readings and his own interpretations.

His easy to read style and conciseness led to his writings spreading all over Northern Europe during his lifetime. His sons and grandsons expanded on his teachings and his commentary also influenced many commentaries and books written throughout Jewish history.

Rashi’s commentary on the Torah was first printed in 1475. Since the 1520’s, all Babylonian Talmuds have been published with Rashi's commentary in the margins. Rashi’s Biblical commentary extended even past the Jewish community and was translated into Latin and German.

in this past week's parsha of Bamidbar, when the parsha introduces Moshe and Aharon counting the Leviim, there are a series of dots over Aharon's name.

these dots are uncommon, but not unheard of, in the Torah.

in Bereishit, when Yaakov and Eisav reunite and kiss, there are a series of dots over the word stating that they kissed. Rashi explains there that the dots are to indicate that actually, Eisav tried to bite Yaakov.

So I (at my lovely girlfriend's instigation) like to imagine that the same is true in Bamidbar: Aharon was counting his fellow Leviim by gently biting every single one.

Thursday Thoughts: Reinterpretation

On the second morning of Rosh Hashanah, we read from the Torah the story of the Akedah – the binding of Isaac. If you’re unfamiliar with this story, the short version is, G-d tells Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as a burnt offering, and Abraham almost does so, but at the last minute, an angel appears and tells Abraham to stop and that he has passed G-d’s test. The conventional wisdom is that Abraham proved his loyalty to G-d by being willing to do whatever G-d said.

This year, our rabbi led us in a kind of thought experiment. She asked us, what if Abraham actually failed the test? What if G-d didn’t want Abraham to obey? What if the real test was to see if Abraham would argue with G-d and stick to his morals?

Our rabbi quoted Rashi – a famous medieval rabbi, one of the most influential commentators in the Talmud. In his commentary on the Akedah, Rashi pointed out that G-d does not literally say “slay Isaac.” G-d said, bring him up to prepare him as a burnt offering. So, according to Rashi, G-d never actually told Abraham to kill his son, and so Abraham failed the test.

So… Did G-d want Abraham to obey, or not? Did G-d mean to tell Abraham to sacrifice his son, or not?

It’s a fun thought experiment. However, I don’t think that this is the most interesting point here. We can never really know what G-d wanted or what G-d meant. Assuming that I know what G-d thinks is way too much hubris for me.

I think it’s much more interesting to think about how we use this story – how we tell it, how we interpret it, and what that says about us. This is a story about a man who almost kills his son because G-d told him to. That’s the text. It’s one of our central texts; we read it on one of the holiest days of the year. And this text bothers us to the point of reinterpretation.

We want to believe that child murder has always been a bad thing. We want to believe that G-d would never tell someone to kill their kid. Evidently, we have wanted to believe this at least since the time of Rashi, so for at least the last thousand years, we’ve been looking at our sacred texts and saying, “That can’t be right.” Truthfully, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that we’d been doing so for the last five thousand years, or more.

There are many things written in the Torah that make us today say, “That can’t be right.” That doesn’t change the fact that the text is there. But I believe it says something very good about us as human beings, and specifically about us as Jews, that we are open – even driven – to reinterpretation.

29 Tamuz - Rashi - 1105

On this day in the year 1105 R’ Shlomo Yitzchaki, known to the world as Rashi, passed away.  Rashi is the acronym of his initials, as well as the words Rabban Shel Yisroel, teacher of Israel. Rashi wrote the most monumental commentaries on both the five books of Moses and the Talmud. It is almost impossible to learn these holy books without his assistance. He also wrote commentaries on the Prophets and Writings, the Mishna, and the Medrash. Besides being a scholar and a prolific writer, he was also a winemaker. 

It is quite remarkable that he achieved all this living in France in the lead up to and during the First Crusade, which was not exactly a quiet time for the Jews.  He saw many of his friends and family slaughtered by the marauding soldiers. Legend has it that Godfrey De Bouillon, the one who conquered Jerusalem, came to Rashi for a blessing before departing France.  Rashi refused.  The Knight asked if the great Rabbi would at least tell him of his fate.  Rashi said that he would be successful, but he will only rule Jerusalem for three days and return with only three men.  The story played out just as Rashi had spoken.  Godfrey was about to reenter Worms with four soldiers, ready to prove Rashi wrong.  As they were entering the city, a boulder fell and killed the fourth man. Godfrey found Rashi studying in his synagogue and praised his wisdom.

This day in the year 2005 was the 900th year since the passing of Rashi.  It was commemorated in France by public ceremonies, conferences, and even a postage stamp.

Rabbi Pinchas L. Landis
