5780 — Shavuot: From Sefirat HaOmer to Revelation: How the Rabbis Read Biblical Texts Pardes from Jerusalem
-
- Giudaismo
What part do human beings play in the revelation of Torah in the world? How do the Rabbis see their role as interpreters of Biblical text? The Torah says to count the omer from the day after the Shabbat yet the Rabbis rule that we count from the day after Pesach. Why do they read the biblical text differently from what seems to the simple pshat? What can we learn from their choice about the continuous unfolding of Torah today? What do the Rabbis understand the process of revelation to be?
