Abstract

The Passover Cup of Elijah is often explained as an expression of rabbinic uncertainty regarding a fifth cup mandated by some opinions in the Babylonian Talmud. The explanation is based upon other talmudic passages which mention halakhic uncertainties that will be resolved by Elijah when he eventually comes to herald the long anticipated redemption. The explanation is commonly attributed to the Gaon of Vilna; however, no historically reliable source supports this attribution. This explanation was first published by the great maskil, Isaac Ber Levinsohn, and was attributed to the Gaon of Vilna by Eliezer Zweifel. An alternate shift of attribution was to R. Ephraim Zalman Margolioth. Attribution to a great rabbinic authority helped the explanation gain circulation and approval among the general rabbinic audience to the present day.

使Maskil成为主流：为19世纪的拉比观众改编Haskalah奖学金

逾越节的以利亚杯通常被解释为拉比对巴比伦塔木德中某些观点所要求的第五杯的不确定性的表达。这个解释是基于其他塔木德的段落，其中提到了哈拉卡的不确定性，当以利亚最终到来预示着期待已久的救赎时，他将解决这些不确定性。这个解释通常被认为是维尔纳的Gaon;然而，没有历史上可靠的资料支持这种说法。这一解释最初是由伟大的技术大师艾萨克·贝尔·莱文索恩发表的，并被埃利以泽·茨威费尔认为是维尔纳的Gaon。另一个原因是R. Ephraim Zalman Margolioth。归因于一个伟大的拉比权威帮助解释获得流通和认可的一般拉比听众，直到今天。

期刊介绍： Zutot: Perspectives on Jewish Culture aims to fill a gap that has become more and more conspicuous among the wealth of scholarly periodicals in the field of Jewish Studies. Whereas existing journals provide space to medium and large sized articles, they neglect the small but poignant contributions, which may be as important as the extended, detailed study. The Zutot serves as a platform for small but incisive contributions, and provides them with a distinct context. The substance of these contributions is derived from larger perspectives and, though not always presented in an exhaustive way, will have an impact on contemporary discussions. The Zutot covers Jewish culture in its broadest sense, i.e. encompassing various academic disciplines—literature, languages and linguistics, philosophy, art, sociology, politics and history—and reflects binary oppositions such as religious and secular, high and low, written and oral, male and female culture.
