Description

The story of Shimon HaTzadik, kohen gadol, and Alexander the Great! Can bigdei kehunah be worn outside the Beit HaMikdash? Also, how do we handle the historicity of this narrative? And what messages does it have for the Jews themselves. Also, the position that God is great should be obvious enough, but a verse in Nechemiah suggests that the concept needs a little more unpacking... How is it that God is great, and that we acknowledge Him as great?
