| Mar 1 at 16:06 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @rikitikitembo No, but because the whole 5 page section is clearly aggadic. What you mean to ask is why I suspect it's allegorical (and it's as above the centuries gap). No one ought dispute the section is aggadata. | |
| Mar 1 at 15:51 | comment | added | rikitikitembo | @DoubleAA are you suggesting a historical comment is aggadic because you don't believe it? | |
| Mar 1 at 12:48 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @riki are you suggesting that any agadeta that isn't debated in the Talmud must not be allegorical? | |
| Feb 28 at 14:34 | comment | added | rikitikitembo | @DoubleAA in the Talmud? Is there a dissenting opinion? | |
| Feb 27 at 22:18 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @riki why do you say no one questions it? | |
| Feb 27 at 21:31 | comment | added | rikitikitembo | @DoubleAA the OPs comments still stand, no one questions the biological lineage from Mordochai [sic] to Shimmie (child can often imply descendent in rabbinic parlance) so why would we assume the comment about Haman and Agag to be metaphorical? | |
| May 22, 2023 at 20:01 | comment | added | The Targum | @DoubleAA regarding your comment that the Nazis were considered amalek, but not necessarily actual descendants of amalek. I came across something along those lines from The Rav: sefaria.org/… | |

| Dec 10, 2013 at 20:06 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @pleaseremovemyaccount Severely lacking. שמעי is listed as Mordochai's grandfather. Yet שמעי בן גרא lived about 500-700 years before Mordochai. Credulous or not? | |
| Dec 10, 2013 at 19:59 | comment | added | please remove my account | @DoubleAA for an aggadah to make a factual statement (that Mordechai descended from Shimmie) followed by a non-factual statement while intending to demonstrate a parallel strains credulity. How's my nature of aggadah doing? | |

"Agagite" but "Amalekey?" Edited for consistency and dejargonification.

| Dec 10, 2013 at 17:54 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @pleaseremovemyaccount You just cited a piece of a Medrish Aggadata for historical proof. Just sayin'. It's not even clear that all opinions in the Midrash there support that particular Drash. | |

| Dec 10, 2013 at 15:18 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | Maybe he's just from the city of Agag. Many rabbis have called the Nazis Amelekites, but that doesn't mean they were literal descendants of Amalek the person. | |
