Abstract

During his final years, R. Nahman of Bratslav endeavored to find a solution for the paradox of unrealized messiahs. His solution was outlined in his dream about birds in December 1806, on the Sabbath of Parashat Va-yeḥi . This dream was influenced by his reading of a story told in the Zohar, Parashat Va-yeḥi , of a “vision of birds” of R. Yehudah, a disciple of R. Shimon bar Yohai, that exemplifies the crisis experienced by the circle of disciples of R. Shimon following his death. The essay elaborates on the connections between the dream and the Zohar story and their influence on R. Nahman’s messianic endeavor.
“一个社区应该在他祈祷的时候在场,这样他就可以把自己和他们的灵魂捆绑在一起”:R. Nahman对鸟类的看法及其在光辉之书中的起源
在他生命的最后几年里,布拉茨斯拉夫的纳曼努力为未实现的弥赛亚悖论寻找解决方案。1806年12月,在Parashat安息日Va-yeḥi,他在关于鸟的梦中概述了他的解决方案。这个梦是受他在《光辉之书》(Parashat Va-yeḥi)中读到的一个故事的影响,这个故事讲述了R. Shimon bar Yohai的门徒R. Yehudah的“鸟的幻象”,这是他死后R. Shimon的门徒圈子所经历的危机的例证。本文详细阐述了梦和光辉之书故事之间的联系,以及它们对纳曼的弥赛亚努力的影响。
