A chaplain of the more scholarly sort is called a ''Darshan (Judaism), darshan'' (). The title of ''maggid mesharim'' ('a preacher of uprightness'; abbreviated ) probably dates from the sixteenth century. There have long been two distinct classes of leaders in Israel—the scholar and rabbi, and the preacher or ''maggid''. That the popular prophet was sometimes called "maggid" is maintained by those who translate (''maggid mishne'') , by "the maggid repeats" (Jacob Ezekiel Löwy, Löwy, "Beqoret ha-Talmud," p. 50).

Thus the Pesiqta, the first collection of set speeches, usually begins with "yelammedenu rabbenu" ('let our master teach us'). An excellent example is the Passover Haggadah, which is introduced by four quest ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
