Abstract

The opening sections of some exegetical Midrashim deal with the same type of material that is found in introductions to medieval rabbinic Bible commentaries. The application of Goldberg's form analysis to these sections reveals the new form "Inner-Midrashic Introduction" (IMI) as a thematic discourse on introductory issues to biblical books. By its very nature the IMI is embedded within the comments on the first biblical verse (1:1). Further analysis of medieval rabbinic Bible commentary introductions in terms of their formal, thematic, and material characteristics, reveals that a high degree of continuity exists between them and the IMIs, including another newly discovered form, the "Inner-Commentary Introduction". These new discoveries challenge the current view that traces the origin of Bible introduction in Judaism exclusively to non-Jewish models. They also point to another important link between the Midrashim and the commentaries, i.e., the decomposition of the functional form midrash in the new discoursive context of the commentaries. Finally, the form analysis demonstrates how larger discourses are formed in the exegetical Midrashim.

Abstract

Les fêtes et solennités occupent une place essentielle dans le judaïsme, elles incarnent les grandes valeurs et véhiculent le message de cette foi qui, la première, proclama le monothéisme. Elles résument sa geste légendaire, tragique et joyeuse. Au cours de sa réflexion sur les fêtes, Yeshayahou Leibowitz bouscule bien des idées préconçues sur le judaïsme : sur le rôle de Dieu dans l'histoire, sur l'importance relative des différentes fêtes. C'est aussi l'occasion pour l'auteur de commenter les " rouleaux " - Cantique des cantiques, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclésiaste - lus lors des célébrations. Ce livre, transcription de causeries hebdomadaires à la radio de 1975 à 1982, comble une lacune dans les publications en langue française où il n'existe aucun ouvrage couvrant la totalité de la liturgie juive.

Abstract

The Bible has always been vital to Jewish religious life, and it has been expounded in diverse ways. Perhaps the most influential body of Jewish biblical interpretation is the Midrash that was produced by expositors during the first five centuries CE. Many such teachings are collected in the Babylonian Talmud, the monumental compendium of Jewish law and lore that was accepted as the definitive statement of Jewish oral tradition for subsequent generations. However, many of the Talmud's interpretations of biblical passages appear bizarre or pointless. From Sermon to Commentary: E
