Yehezkel Kaufmann

Um, the equivalent to that in the Jewish case would be something like Kalmanovich actually, I think, which would be to say that, you know, the Jews are in some sense, whether I believe in God or not, the Jews are in some sense chosen for this kind of exilic, um, or, or they, they play this.

Um, you also see this actually in the thinking of, uh, not Yehezkel Kaufman, but who was it in Palestine writing in Hebrew, um, writing about antisemitism in a very mythopoetic mode where it basically says, you know, Christianity needs, And Christianity and everything it has given birth to needs the Jew and sort of endlessly recuperates the Jew as the source of evil and the target of its hatred.

And so in a way, of course, it's going to work out that way.

I'm not saying I'm confident that there's no shred of truth in that, unfortunately.

We say boi chala, boi chala when Shabbos is entering.

And traditionally in the days of the Tanakh, in Yehezkel it says that a kala would wear 24 pieces of jewelry.

Where? Where did they put? They have ten fingers and ten toes.

That's twenty.
