        2. Historical context and religious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Ben Zom\u00e1 acts in a key period:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • After the Second Temple<\/strong>: the cult of sacrifice has ceased; the prayer, the study and the halachah is become the fulcrum of jewish life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Academy of Yavne<\/strong>: directed by Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai and his successors, is the center from where it was rebuilt pharisaic judaism-rabbinic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Generation of large systems<\/strong>: it is the season that are fixed structures of the Mishnah and defined methods of biblical exegesis and hermeneutics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          In this context, Ben Zom\u00e1 stands out on two fronts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. the biblical exegesis deep<\/strong>, especially on the Creation<\/strong>, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. the ethics of character<\/strong> condensed in aphorisms famous.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cWho is honorable? One who honors others.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n

            \u201cEzehu mechubad? Ha-mechabed et ha-beriyot.\u201d<\/em>
            (Pirkei Avot 4:1)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            3. Traits and biographical anecdotes key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            3.1. \u201cThe last of the darshanim\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            The sources emphasize that his specialty was the interpretation of Scripture<\/strong>both in halachah as in agad\u00e1 (teaching narrative). You said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n

            \u201cWith Ben Zom\u00e1 died the last of the performers (darshanim)\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

            That does not mean that there were more performers after, but it symbolizes the end of a type of teacher: exegete biblical classic<\/strong>focused on the text, before turning more systematic to the Talmud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            3.2. Obsession with Creation (Maas\u00e9 Bereishit)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            The favorite subject<\/strong> Ben Zom\u00e1 was the the first chapter of Genesis<\/strong>the story of Creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • It raises questions about such expressions as \u201cGod did it\u201d (Gen 1:7) and the verse \u201cthe earth was tohu va-vohu\u201d (Gen 1:2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • One of their questions was so bold that the tradition says that \u201cwith this verse, Ben Zom\u00e1 shocked the whole world\u201d<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              A story describes how R. joshua ben Janani\u00e1 what is absorbed in these topics<\/strong>. Ben Zom\u00e1 pass without saying goodbye, sunken in their thoughts about the Creation; when r. joshua hears it, declares to his disciples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n

              \u201cBen Zom\u00e1 is outside<\/strong>\u201d that is to say, it has crossed the limit of the speculation allowed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

              This story shows two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • The intellectual potential<\/strong> Ben Zom\u00e1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • And the danger<\/strong> the tradition sees in delve too much into the mysteries of the Creation (Maas\u00e9 Bereshit) and the Merkav\u00e1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                4. Ben Zom\u00e1 and the mystery of the \u201cPard\u00e9s\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                4.1. The story of the four who entered the Pard\u00e9s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                The agad\u00e1 famous \u201cthe four who entered the Pard\u00e9s (the \u2018garden\u2019 mystic)\u201d<\/strong> mentions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Ben Azzai<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Ben Zom\u00e1<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Ajer (Elish\u00e1 ben Abuja)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Rabbi Akiva<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  The story talmudic (Jaguig\u00e1 14b) says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Ben Azzai looked and died.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Ben Zom\u00e1 looked and went mad<\/strong> (\u201cnitgane\u201d, \u201cnitztaref\u201d, that is to say, he suffered a mental disturbance).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Ajer \u201ccut the plantations\u201d (became a heretic).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Only Rabbi Akiva he entered in peace and left in peace<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    4.2. Meaning of the myth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                    In the reading rabbinic classic and at the reception later mysticism:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    • The Pard\u00e9s<\/strong> it symbolizes the access to the highest levels of esoteric knowledge<\/strong>linked to the secrets of Creation and of God.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Ben Zom\u00e1 is the prototype of the wise get to glimpse \u201cthe secret garden\u201d but pay a psychological price very high<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      The moral rabbinic is clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n

                      The intellect, without limits and without the framework of obedience, you can destabilize<\/strong> to the person, even if it is a great sage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                      In historical terms, this explains why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                      • His life was brief<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • And why never got to receive semij\u00e1<\/strong>, being always as a \u201ctalmid\u201d bright, but not \u201cRabbi\u201d with full authority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                        \n\n\n\n

                        5. Contribution halachic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                        Although her figure is more famous in the plane of the ethical and mystical, also left its mark on fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        5.1. Exhibition about the Exodus and the Shema<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                        Your derash\u00e1 most famous is the one about the verse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n

                        \u201cSo that you remember the day you came out of Egypt all the days of your life<\/strong>\u201d (Deut 16:3).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                        Ben Zom\u00e1 interprets that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        • \u201cYour days\u201d = day<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • \u201cAll the days of thy life\u201d = day and night<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          There concludes that the section of the Exodus<\/strong> (Num 15:37-41) should be recited both in the prayer of the morning as in the evening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          This interpretation is cited with praise by Rabbi Elazar ben Azari\u00e1<\/strong> in Berachot 1:5 and passed directly to the Haggadah of Passover<\/strong>where it is explicitly mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          5.2. Example of method halachic: the term \u201cnaqu\u00ed\u201d (clean)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                          In another teaching, Ben Zom\u00e1 analyzes the word \u201cnaqu\u00ed\u201d (clean)<\/strong> in Exodus 21:28 (responsibility for an ox that kills). Draws daily use of the language<\/strong> to clarify its legal sense, a method close to the philology legal<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          • Examines how to use \u201cnaqu\u00ed\u201d in the living language, and from there it defines its scope halachic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                            This shows that it was not only a mystic but also a jurist fine<\/strong>attentive to the actual semantics of the words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n\n\n\n

                            6. Ethical teachings central<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            The fame of Ben Zom\u00e1 in popular tradition, comes mostly from Pirkei Avot 4:1<\/strong>, where formula four definitions are almost a programme of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            6.1. Who is wise?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                            • To the rabbinical tradition, this phrase is a direct blow against the pride's academic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
