I almost paired this with the beginning of Ma'aseh Merkavah, since they are fairly similar, but then wanted to keep the first post fairly straightforward.<br /><br />But, if people want to join in with their favorite passages or perhaps with passages they find difficult--like you just did--we can work on those. And when there are no suggestions, I might go back to a little more HR. <br /><br />So, I'm fine with working on 420-421 for now. That's in the middle of Zutarti, right?<br /><br />On women in or not in the Hekhalot, I just wrote a paper on "seeing God" in late antique Judaism to be published in an upcoming volume. I would love your input, and I stumbled across some midrash that deals with women and divine encounters. It might be helpful to you--or since you probably have long known about it will probably be beneficial for me to hear your ideas.Jared Calawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380681998833566514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006479003534298455.post-74978439259802857392011-06-17T04:09:45.352-04:002011-06-17T04:09:45.352-04:00I like the idea of daily Hekhalot.

Two of the passages that are really puzzling me now are #420 and #421 in the Synopse. I don't have time to write about them right now, but maybe I'll put something on my blog about them. I'm currently in Israel, for the next month, working on a paper on women in (or not in) the Hekhalot literature.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626228106192215280noreply@blogger.com
