RABBI BLANCHARD'S BLURB


 

  • For much of our early history, humans believed that communication with, or at least from,  the supernatural was possible.  The messages received in such ways could teach us, individually and collectively, how to live wisely, morally, politically, and militarily.  Few of us believe we have direct access to such transcendent sources today.  We tend to use our understanding of logic, mathematics, natural experience, human or even artificial, scientific research, and reasoned argument to decide how to live as persons and as societies. But there are exceptions: the appreciation of beauty in art and nature as well as love in romance and friendship. Hence, clarity and certitude in these areas sometimes seem to come from something, someplace, or even someone beyond us. 
Reflections on Exodus 28:30
 
Rashi
  • THE URIM AND THE THUMMIM — This was an inscription of the Proper Name of God which was placed between the folds (i. e. the two pieces forming the front and back) of the breast-plate through which it (the breast-plate) made its statements clear (lit., illuminated its words; מאיר from אור, light, this being an allusion to the אורים) and its promises true (מתמם from the root תמם, an allusion to תמים) (Yoma 73b). In the second Temple, there was certainly the breastplate (although other objects employed in the Temple Service were missing), for it was impossible that the High Priest should have lacked a garment, but that Divine Name was not within it. It was on account of the inscription which constituted the Urim and Thummim and which enabled it to give decisions that it was called “judgment”, as it is said (Numbers 27:21) “And he shall enquire for him by the judgment of the Urim” (Numbers 27:21).
  • [AND AARON SHALL BEAR] THE JUDGMENT OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL — the object by means of which they are judged and admonished whether they should do a particular thing or whether they should not do it. But according to the Midrashic statement (Zevachim 88b) that the breastplate atoned for those who pervert judgment, it was called “judgment” in allusion to the pardon thus given for perverse judgment.
Chizkuni
  •  “Aaron will bear the judgment of the Children of Israel on his heart;” i.e., he will inform G-d of the needs of the Jewish people so that he can give them guidance; we have encountered the term משפט in this sense Deuteronomy 18,3, as well as in Kings I 8,59 in Solomon’s blessing of the people after the consecration of the Temple he had built in Jerusalem.
