goodbye horayot

goodbye mesechet horayot. you were a very short tractate of very long dappim. fascinating discussions about what happens when leaders rule in error and mislead the people. Are those individuals in leadership position to be treated as no longer an individual, but the office of authority gives them a fundamental change in status? and who are, and what is, 'the people'? I used black pen with black and red embroidery. I've been wanting to sew the drawings for a while, but reluctant to do this for a long mesechet. really enjoyed it and wished horayot was longer.

horayot 14

they say that they want the mountain & the wheat. 
But they compete on who cannot be argued with.

horayot 13

in a hierarchy that values Torah wisdom above all, 
be careful about shaming the head's blank spaces. 
It will lead to your name being removed from your wisdom.

horayot 12

we light a candle & look for signs of survival. 
Life is finite, it ruptures & breaks. 
So we tear, either from above or below. 
Life does not flow eternally like water, oil, or Torah.

horayot 11

kings & high priests. 
apostates & heretics. 
some are marked by what is poured on their heads. 
the other by what they choose to put in their mouths.

horayot 10

kings & sins. 
kings will sin, it's inevitable. 
But it's from her sinning for the sake of heaven do kings emerge.

horayot 9

a high priest & a king cannot become poor. 
but a sinful becomes a commoner, but a high priest can never go back.

horayot 8

keep away from the bleeding woman. 
and always keep away from her sister. 
Using forbidden women as teaching points.

horayot 7

he priest, the court, the king. 
are the same status as The People.

horayot 6

what is a congregation? 
a group? 
is it tribal? 
the whole nation? 
- just don't be on your own, everyone belongs somewhere

horayot 5

how many bulls for one error?

horayot 4

need a whole & complete court to be liable for ruling erroneously on part of the law

horayot 3

when they are bound together in error, your silence binds you to them

horayot 2

can't just say "fuck them all" & do your own thing. 
have to follow the court, 
even if they are wrong.
