Ishmael b. Phiabi Burned Two
One of the few disagreements among different Second Temple groups documented in writings that present both opposing viewpoints concerns the level of impurity of the priest who burns the red heifer. A baraita in Tosefta Parah (3.6) reports a dispute between a high priest, Ishmael ben Phiabi, and the Pharisees over this issue, and includes arguments offered by each side to support its view. In the case recorded, the ashes of the red heifer were dis…

Conversely, assumptions concerning the redactor's activity can affect the interpretation of the …
God of our Fathers
In the traditional Jewish liturgy, prayers of supplication very commonly begin with "May it be your will, O Lord, our God and God of our fathers." Most familiar is the opening of the Jewish prayer par excellence, the Amidah. It is generally thought - no doubt from reading rabbinic literature as it appears in the printed editions - that this is an ancient form of address that was already widespread in the Tannaitic and Amoraic periods in both Eret…
