So. Think about this. Once this foreigner is brought into the House
of Israel ((albeit a foreigner who emerged from the House of
Israel)) and then comes to rule it, the House of Israel itself
ended up becoming, in fact, a collective apostate alienated from
its burning living center. In the following I acknowledge the
paradox involved in what I am saying given what is said in the
Gemaric commentaries about Akher. But again, think it through. What
would it mean to be an apostate from an institution which itself
has apostatized? In this sense Elisha ben Abbuyah becomes the model
for a grand teshuvah whose contours, as we shall see, are radically
paradoxical: RETURN O BACKSLIDING CHILDREN Today -- to pick up one
of those figures used in Hagigah s attempt to give cautious
approval of such rehabilitation for Elisha ben Abbuyah -- Judaism
is a shell whose kernel has virtually disappeared. If nothing
changes nothing changes. Judaism will implode in upon itself and
disappear. If you are able to see the mortal danger into which
Judaism has strayed you will be able to garner the imagination to
read -- as though for the very first time -- the forthcoming
thrice-articulated verse-and-commentary. It was first stated by
Hashem to Akher. It was then twice repeated by Akher to Meir. You
need to turn the telescope around to understand its true import.
Think again of the logic entailed by the apostate who apostatizes
from an apostatizing Institution. Just how long will it take for
you to get it? Till it s too late? RETURN O BACKSLIDING CHILDREN
whispering for proper effect]: except for Akher It is not Akher who
needs to return.
