Rabbinic Prayer in Dialogue with Priestly Ritual: Palestinian Talmudic Aggada
-
Tracy Ames
Abstract
In this article I engage in a close reading of an aggadic story contained within the first chapter of tractate Berakhot within the Palestinian Talmud in order to contribute to the scholarship investigating Aggada in the Palestinian Talmud. The aggada focuses on efforts by sages to establish rabbinic prayer practices in the aftermath of the vacuum left by the destruction of the Second Temple. The application of literary and genre-based analysis reveals that literary constructs widespread throughout the Greco-Roman world were adapted by the composers/redactors of the Palestinian Talmud. Contextual analysis indicates that a nuanced and varied set of responses to the Roman Empire is evident in this pericope in tractate Berakhot in the Palestinian Talmud.
