The Indestructible Talmud by Steven Rosner
Religion/History
Everyone loves a good story, but inside is a great story. It is the story of the Talmud’s survival, despite its countless trials and tribulations in every century since the Babylonian exile. Thus, before a single section of the Talmud had been written down, its persecutions began—from the Greek Seleucids to the Roman Empire, from the Roman Catholic Church to Islam, from pagans to Jewish heretical sects, and from Russian czars to Hitler. Both from nations and individuals, the persecutions of its enemies was never-ending, which we chronicle in detail, so the reader can appreciate the incredible saga of the Talmud’s survival.
We describe how, just after the Talmud had been completed, Justinian, the Roman Emperor (527-565), decreed practically its death--capital punishment to anyone who was immersed in its study. Next, the Karaites, in the 7th century, seriously threatened its existence. Time and time again, they were a stone’s throw from making an end of the Talmud, and to its expositors.
Then, in the 8th and 9th centuries, Islam turned into the enemy of the Jews, and massacres, blood and fire, burnings, and exile were visited upon the adherents of the Talmud, who were deemed infidels. But its worst assailant was the Roman Catholic church. From the time of Innocent III, the Talmud was burned at the stake in virtually every century from the 12th to the 17th. Italy, France, Germany, and Spain were the most notable of more than a dozen nations that continued the assault, while in the 18th century it was assailed by the Frankists, when copies in Poland were dragged through the streets of its cities, tied to horses’ tails, and delivered to the executioner to be burned.
For without “hope,” a nation or individual goes into despair, and after a short time, depending upon strength of character, the will to live no longer exists, and death usually comes quickly; whether by suicide, or more slowly by refusing to eat, drink, or take care of oneself. But as long as the Jewish people had the Talmud, at least some would retain hope for better times, during which they could practice their religion in peace. And as those times were all too few and far between, it took great courage and self-sacrifice to keep the Talmud viable for future generations. That the Talmud exists today and not one letter is missing, testifies to the fact that the keepers of the Talmud succeeded beyond words. Accordingly, the title, The Indestructible Talmud, could not have been more apropos.
