Numbers with Aramaic Targum and Arabic Tafsir, [Yemen: 14th century]

An early copy of most of the book of Numbers in which every biblical verse is followed first by its Aramaic Targum and then by the Arabic Tafsīr.

In the Second Temple period, with Jewish knowledge of Hebrew in decline, an acute need was felt for the translation of the Scriptures into the vernacular. The two most famous ancient Jewish versions, the Greek Septuagint (third-second centuries BCE) and the Aramaic Targum (first-second centuries CE), would give generations of the faithful access to biblical law, legend, and wisdom. Following the seventh-century Muslim conquest of large swaths of the Middle East, however, Arabic became the lingua franca of much of the Jewish world. Having been asked sometime in the early tenth century to render the Bible into Arabic, Rabbi Saadiah Gaon proceeded to compose the Tafsīr (lit., commentary), a semi-free literary translation.

PARASHÁT JUQÁT

Bemidbár 19:1 - 22:1

Parashát Juqát es la sexta porción semanal de la Toráh, que se encuentra en el Séfer Bemidbár (Libro de Números). En esta Parasháh, se enseñan las leyes relacionadas con la purificación ritual y se relatan los fallecimientos de Miriám y Aharón, los hermanos de Moshéh. Además, se castiga a Moshéh por el incidente de las aguas de Meriváh, lo que le impide entrar en la Tierra Prometida1.

Una de las ceremonias especiales de purificación mencionadas en esta Parasháh involucra la vaca roja (paráh adumáh). Esta vaca sin defectos se sacrificaba fuera del campamento y se quemaba junto con madera de cedro, hisopo y un hilo escarlata. Las cenizas de la vaca roja se utilizaban para purificar a las personas que habían estado en contacto con un cadáver2.

En resumen, Parashát Juqát aborda temas de pureza e impureza, así como la importancia de cumplir con las leyes Divinas, incluso cuando no siempre comprendemos su propósito o significado1.

Reflexiones

Parashát Juqát nos presenta una serie de lecciones y desafíos que siguen siendo relevantes en la vida actual. Aquí hay algunas reflexiones sobre esta porción semanal:

La paradoja de la purificación: La ceremonia de la vaca roja es un ejemplo de cómo a veces las soluciones Divinas pueden parecer paradójicas o incluso ilógicas. La purificación a través de las cenizas de la vaca roja es un recordatorio de que no siempre entendemos completamente los caminos de Dios, pero debemos confiar en Su sabiduría.

La importancia de la obediencia: Moshéh es castigado por golpear la roca en lugar de hablarle, lo que le impide entrar en la Tierra Prometida. Esto nos enseña que incluso los líderes espirituales deben obedecer las instrucciones Divinas con precisión. La obediencia es crucial para nuestra relación con lo sagrado.

La fragilidad de la vida: La muerte de Miriám y Aharón nos recuerda que incluso aquellos que desempeñan un papel importante en la historia pueden partir en cualquier momento. Valorar a nuestros seres queridos y vivir con propósito es fundamental.

La búsqueda de significado: A veces, como Moshéh, enfrentamos situaciones difíciles sin comprender completamente su propósito. La fe implica confiar en que incluso en momentos de confusión, hay un propósito más grande en juego.

En última instancia, Parashát Juqát nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestra relación con lo Divino, nuestra obediencia y nuestra búsqueda de significado en medio de la incertidumbre.

Lehitra’ót! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Korach and revolution

In a free society, all of us are rebels against something.  In a society where freedom of religion is part of the social contract, every adult chooses which ideas, which denomination, which philosophy, which tribe they want to align themselves with.  And in doing so, each of us rebels against somebody else’s self-proclaimed authority. For some in the Jewish community, I am a rabbi. For others, I…

This week we enter the Wilderness in the Torah portion Bemidbar (Numbers 1:1-4:20). "God spoke to Moses in the wilderness" the great Babylonian rabbi, Rava, taught that "when people open themselves to everyone like a wilderness, God gives them the Torah." 💕 Be open to all, love our neighbor as ourselves and when we feel lost remember that Moses heard the voice of God in the wilderness, and we can too 💕 Photo credit: @susanhurrey. @adobespark @tailwindapp . . . #God #Torah #moses #bemidbar #bamidbar #motivation #mondaymotivation #bible #hebrewbible #judaism #jewish #love
