Nathan Lopes Cardozo Quotes

We Seldom Stop To Think - And We Certainly Should Do So More Often - That In Taking The Words Of Our Sages As A Description Of Mere Fact, We May Miss The Deeper Meanings Which They Meant To Convey. As A Rule, Aggadah Should Not Be Taken Literally; Rather, It Must Be Interpreted With The Understanding That A Higher Truth Is Being Alluded To - A Truth That Is Beyond Historical Perspective, Philological Expression, Or The Dimensions Of Scientific Observations. Agaddah Speaks To That Part Of Us That Understands But Cannot Articulate What It Understands. It Allows Us To Go Beyond The Realms Of The Definable, Perceivable, And Demonstrable. In This Sense, Aggadah Is A Form Of Religious Metaphor, A Mirror That Enables Us To Form Mental Images Of The Indescribable.
