Interview with Menachem Kellner- They Too are Called Human: Gentiles in the Eyes of Maimonides. The Mishnah (Sanhedrin 4:5) teaches the universal doctrine that God began humanity by creating an individual human being, Adam, “to teach that if anyone destroy a single soul from humankind, Scripture charges him as though he had destroyed a whole world, and whoever saves a single soul from humankind, Scripture credits him as though he had saved a whole world.”
However, at a later date, the text of this Mishnah was revised to be particularistic, so that many editions currently read that Adam was created alone “to teach that if anyone destroy a single soul from Israel… and whoever saves a single soul from Israel…” A universal teaching has thus been transformed to a particularist view valuing Jewish life, rather than the value of all human life. Menachem Kellner has devoted the last decades to writing a series of books defending the universal voice in Judaism.

I am transfixed by this growing blackness on my daily office paper. The blot of ink gnaws at my habitual words until my paper disintegrates. I am in the darkness now, guided by the earth, a light and a voice that holds my hand for three weeks.
