There is much to be said on and objected to the dualist model you propose here (either love or objective criticism), but I see where you are coming from and where all this is aiming to. There are myriads of ways of relating to the Torah, there are hundreds of years of people who have brought all sorts of complementing ideologies into their interpretations, and Judaism is certainly not as pure as the supposed Ur-Torah from Har Sinai. Perceiving complexity as a dualist either / or opposition points to the (certainly legitimate!) need for authenticity and a true interpretational key. But it suffocates the inherent creativity of Judaism and its capacity to assimilate, integrate and adapt itself to times and cultures of different kinds.

Note that it doesn't have to be even close to right for the "Mosaic Authorship Hypothesis" to be clearly wrong. Even if you don't buy the JPED stuff, the Torah was clearly written by human beings many hundreds of years after Moses supposedly lived.<BR/><BR/>You basically just said, "Oh, they're biased" and "oh, they don't have the exactness of science" (as if Orthodoxy does!) and then launched into a feel-good dvar torah based on nothing but cute wordplay. ("Breishit" means "bshvil reishit?" Come on.)<BR/><BR/>If one of your students used this kind of reasoning in a paper about a different subject, I doubt he'd get a C.Jewish Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616617537150446818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403328333335592440.post-92187844089652982602008-06-06T17:47:00.000+03:002008-06-06T17:47:00.000+03:00Slowly but surely, you are heading in the right di...Slowly but surely, you are heading in the right direction. <BR/><BR/>The content is far more edifying and in line with nature of your character as personified by that powerful picture of you with the open gemorrah on the shtender- within reach of your hands and your eyes ...<BR/><BR/>Mi Chayil LeChayil...Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059634038254857103noreply@blogger.com
