Биография
[ редактировать ]Он родился в Малой Азии . По словам Талмуда, его отец был потомком римского императора Нерора , который, как говорят, избежал смерти во время его показания и впоследствии стал обращением в иудаизм. [ 2 ] Согласно Маймониду (Рамбам), Нерон был его отцом. [ 3 ]
Двадцать четыре тысячи учеников раввина Акива погибли в чуме. Он нашел пять новых студентов, в том числе Мейр и раввины Иуда Бен Илай , Элеазар Бен Шаммуа , Хосе Бен Халафта и Шаймон Бар Йочай . [ 4 ]
Мейр поступил в школу раввина Акива, а затем пошел в школу раввина Измаила . За это время Мейр занимал профессию скривенера , копируя в основном священное сценарий, за который он был предупрежден: «Мой сын, обращай особо , или вы добавляете одну излишнюю букву, и при этом вы обнаружите, что уничтожили, таким образом, весь мир ». [ 5 ] Затем он вернулся в Акиву, который, признав свои диалектические силы, назначил его над головами других своих учеников. [6] This ordination, which was considered invalid on account of Meir's youth, was confirmed by Judah ben Baba.[7]
Unlike Akiva, Meir seems to have kept aloof from the revolutionary movement of Bar Kokhba.[8] Nevertheless, he suffered greatly from its consequences. His father-in-law, Hananiah ben Teradion, was killed in the Hadrianic persecutions, and his sister-in-law was taken to Rome and sold to a brothel.
During the Hadrianic persecutions Meir lived abroad, but he returned to Judea after the repeal of the oppressive edicts, and took part in the reestablishment of the Sanhedrin in the city of Usha. Shortly afterward Simeon ben Gamaliel II was elected patriarch, and Meir became a hakham, in which office he was charged with the duty of preparing the subjects to be discussed in the Sanhedrin.
In the later part of Meir's life in one day he lost two sons, who died suddenly on a Sabbath while he was at the house of study.[9] Shortly after the death of his sons his wife died. According to a legend, she committed suicide after having been dishonored by one of her husband's pupils.[10]
The last years of Meir's life were passed in Asia Minor. He was induced to leave Judea because of the conflict that arose between him and the patriarch over the change introduced by Simeon in the ceremonial of the Sanhedrin. Custom required its members to rise when the president, the judge, or the reader entered the academy. Simeon issued an order that the assembly should rise as a body only on his own entrance, while on the entrance of the judge only the first row, and on that of the reader only the second row, should rise. Meir and Nathan (the judge) felt offended at this new arrangement and determined to show Simeon's unfitness for his office by puzzling him with difficult halakic questions which he would be unable to answer. Informed of this, Simeon expelled them from the Sanhedrin, but he could not prevent them from writing difficult questions and distributing them among its members. Compelled to readmit both Nathan and Meir, he contrived that their names should not be recorded in the ordinances enacted by him. Nathan submitted, but Meir continued to embarrass the patriarch by addressing to him difficult questions. When, at last, the patriarch threatened excommunication, he answered, "I do not care for your sentence unless you can prove to me on whom, on what grounds, and under what conditions excommunication may be imposed," and left the Sanhedrin.[11]
A different story in the Babylonian Talmud indicates that he was forced to flee to Babylonia due to pursuit by the Roman authorities, or due to other unclear circumstances.[12]
Name
[edit]"Meir" may have been a sobriquet. The Babylonian Talmud asserts that his actual name was not Meir but Nehorai, and that the real name of Nehorai was not Nehorai but rather Nehemiah or Eleazar ben Arach.[13] This passage is ambiguous regarding whether Meir was renamed twice (from Nehorai and previously from another name), or whether two rabbis (Meir and Nehorai) were each renamed.
According to Yeshayah Berlin, Meir and Nehorai were separate rabbis.[14] This reading is supported by several of the oldest Talmud manuscripts.[15]
In contrast, modern scholar John McGinley assumes that Meir was renamed twice. To explain the renaming, McGinley notes that Eleazar ben Arach is elsewhere is described as being the greatest of the Sages,[16] and a student of Yohanan ben Zakkai who (at an early age) had mastered the meaning of the mystical revelations which are associated with "the Work of the Chariot."[17] McGinley suggests that the virtual disappearance of Eleazer Ben Arach from rabbinic ways[further explanation needed] allowed the usage of this name as a cognomen for Meir, acceptably to rabbinic officialdom[further explanation needed] who permitted this cover name to honor him but with sufficient indirectness so as not also to honor his checkered history with Rabbinic officialdom.[18] The book also says that Yochanan Ben Zakai set up a bet midrash at Bror Hayil after he left Yavneh. Meir was not a student of Zakai at Yavneh.
Teachings
[edit]Halacha
[edit]First a disciple of Elisha ben Abuyah and later of Rabbi Akiva, Meir was one of the most important Tannaim of the Mishnah. Akiva's teachings, through his pupil Meir, became the basis of the Mishnah.
According to the Babylonian Talmud, all Mishnas that state laws without introducing them with an indication that they are attributed to any one of the Sages are attributed to Meir.[19] Following an unsuccessful attempt to force the resignation of the head of the Sanhedrin, Meir's opinions were noted, but not in his name, rather as "Others say...".[20] However, in a few places the opinion of "Others" is recorded alongside a contradictory opinion of "Rabbi Meir", suggesting that this identification is not universal.[21]
Meir "was able to give 48 reasons to prove a thing legally clean, and as many more reasons to prove it unclean".[6] This excess of dialectics is given in the Talmud as the only reason why his halakhot did not receive the force of law; the pros and cons offered by him were so nearly equal in strength that one never knew his real opinion on a subject.
In the deduction of new halakhot from the Biblical text, Meir used with great caution the hermeneutic rules listed by his teacher Ishmael; and he rejected Akiva's method of deducing a new halakhah from a seemingly superfluous particle in the Scriptural text.[22]
Quotes
[edit]- Why was the Torah given to Israel? Because they are impetuous.[23]
- He that occupies himself in the study of the Torah for its own sake merits many things; still more, he is deserving of the whole world. He is called friend, beloved, lover of God, lover of mankind, he that makes God happy, he that makes mankind happy; and it clothes him with humility and with reverence, and makes him fit to become a pious man, saintly, upright, and faithful, while keeping him away from sin and bringing him near to virtue; while others enjoying from him counsel and sound knowledge, understanding and [deriving from him] fortitude...[24]
- "Have little business, and be busied in the Torah"; "Be lowly in spirit to every man"; "If thou idlest from the Torah, thou wilt have many idlers against thee"; "If thou laborest in the Torah, He hath much to give unto thee"[25]
- "He who does not work on week-days will end by being compelled to work even on Sabbaths; for idleness leads to misery, and misery to crime; and once a prisoner, the idler will be forced to labor even on the Sabbath".[26]
- "It is not the trade followed but the merit of the workman which makes him rich or poor".[27]
Other maxims of his, on study and the fear of the Lord, have been transmitted by Johanan: "Learn the ways of the Lord with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul"; "Watch at the gates of the Law"; "Keep the Law in thy heart"; "Let the fear of the Lord be always before thine eyes and keep thy tongue from evil words"; "Cleanse and make thyself pure that thou mayest stand without sin before the Lord, and He will be with thee" [28]
Meir reproved those who run after riches:
- "Man comes into the world with closed hands as though claiming ownership of everything; but he leaves it with hands open and limp, as if to show that he takes nothing with him. Yet if man has sought the best course in life, his reward awaits him beyond the grave; there he finds the table set for a feast of joy that will last through eternity".[29]
Meir's experience of the world was wide and varied, and the aggadah records several of his social maxims:
- Love the friend who admonishes thee and hate the one who flatters thee; for the former leads thee to life and the future world, while the latter puts thee out of the world." "Conciliate not thy friend in the hour of his passion;[30] console him not when his dead is laid out before him; question him not in the hour of his vow; and strive to see him not in the hour of his disgrace".[31]
Meir was fond of discoursing upon traveling:
- If you've entered a city, follow after its customs.[32]
- "Travelers should go in threes, for a single traveler is likely to be murdered; two are likely to quarrel; but three will always make their way in peace".[33]
Tomb
[edit]
According to the Jerusalem Talmud, Meir died in Assos and asked that his tomb be placed on the seashore.[34]
Tomb by the Sea of Galilee
[edit]A tomb by the Sea of Galilee has been associated with a certain "Rabbi Meir" since at least 1210 CE, when Samuel ben Samson recorded that "Before we arrived in [Tiberias] we saw the tomb of Rabbi Meir"; however it cannot be the tomb of the tanna, who died in Assos and was buried by the sea. Samuel b. Samson also recorded the tomb of another Rabbi Meir, near Safed.[35] Jehiel of Paris (13th century) said that the tomb was that of the otherwise unknown "Meir Katzin", and the anonymous student of Nachmanides (14th) said that it was the tomb of the otherwise unknown "Meir Tatzun". Moses Bassola (16th) recorded that "Near [Tiberias], a grave marked by standing stones. They are always gathering to pray there, and they say that it is the grave of a certain Rabbi Meir who vowed never to sit down until the Messiah arrives, and he is buried standing up. He is not the Rabbi Meir of our Mishnah."[36][37] Nachmanides' well-known emigration to the region confused matters further, as his acronym RMBN was mistakenly associated with the occupant of the tomb and misinterpreted as Rabbi Meir Baal haNes ("Rabbi Meir of the Miracle") in the nineteenth century.[38][39]
Тем не менее, некоторые в конечном итоге начали утверждать, что гробница «Мейр» от Галилейского моря была на самом деле мошенником раввина Мейр Танны Мишны. С этой точки зрения паломники посещают его могилу и читают Техиллим и особую молитву, особенно на его yahrtzeit (годовщина его смерти) 14 -го числа Ияра , [40] which is also Pesach Sheni.[41] Другие мнения говорят, что настоящий Yahrzeit/Hilula находится на Рош -Чодеш, что совпадает с Чанукой.
