during their Passover Seders. We hope that The Plagues Project can help expand our community's thinking on this important topic by showcasing the variety of ways that Jews have thought about Plagues - both the Biblical Plagues and plagues throughout history - for the last 3,000 years.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n We believe that a plurality of voices can be brought together to explore the vast canon of Jewish literature. Tradition tells us that the Torah has \u201cseventy faces,\u201d and we look forward to exploring them with you. Bringing together these varied perspectives was made possible by a collaboration between BINA: The Jewish Movement for Social Change<\/a>, Judaism Unbound<\/a>, 929 English<\/a>, The Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto<\/a>, and jewishLIVE<\/a>.

This threatening prophecy follows Ahab\u2019s rise to rule over the Northern Kingdom of Israel and his \u201cdoing what was displeasing to the Lord\u201d by establishing the worship of Baal and the Asherah (<\/span>I Kings 16:29-33<\/span><\/a>). To avoid Ahab\u2019s wrath, Elijah flees first to east of the Jordan and then to the widow of Zarephath, near Sidon, who feeds him with what little remains to sustain her and her son. Miraculously, the food suffices to sustain Elijah, the widow and her son for many days. But then, the son of the widow becomes so ill \u201cthat there was left in him no breath.\u201d However, Elijah succeeds in resuscitating the boy by calling upon God and bringing him alive and well back to his mother (<\/span>I Kings 17:2-24<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\r\n The<\/span> Midrash Pirke de-Rabbi Eliezer<\/span><\/a> employs this Biblical narrative to teach that \u201crighteousness\u201d (<\/span>tzedakah<\/span><\/i>) has the power to revive the dead. For the widow of Zarephath received the prophet Elijah with great honor and fed him. The midrash identifies the widow\u2019s son with the future Prophet Jonah. But here, in a surprising interpretation of the Biblical narrative (see<\/span> I Kings 17:18<\/span><\/a>), the widow accuses Elijah of causing the impending death of her son by coming to her to have sexual relations (<\/span>ba\u2019ta \u2018elay le-tashmish ha-mitah<\/span><\/i>)! Elijah realizes that the widow\u2019s accusation is only because of her anguish over her dying son. He implores God:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n \u2018Now let all the generations learn that there is resurrection of the dead and restore the soul of this lad within him.\u2019 The Lord heard Elijah\u2019s plea, and the boy\u2019s life returned to him, and he lived. Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, \u2018Look, your son is alive!\u2019 Then the woman said to Elijah, \u2018Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the Lord from your mouth is the truth\u2019. (<\/span>I Kings 17:22-24<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\r\n The Biblical narrative of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath is depicted in a visual midrash in the frescos on the walls of the 3<\/span>rd<\/span> century CE synagogue in<\/span> Dura-Europos<\/span><\/a>. On the left, the widow gives Elijah her dead son. The blurring of both their faces and the black garb of the widow signify mourning for the death of the child. In the center, Elijah holds the child and prepares to rise from the bed following his revival of the boy. God\u2019s intervention is represented graphically by the arm descending into the scene from above. On the right, the faces of the mother and child are now depicted clearly and the widow, now dressed in festive garb, holds her living child joyfully (see<\/span> Tali Visual

He just starts talking. This opening verse is in stark contrast to everything else that will happen to the most famous prophet in the Books of Kings.\u00a0 Elijah warns Ahab that the land will be afflicted by drought, and is gone. God brings him first to a river where the birds and nature feed him. After the river dries up, Elijah travels to a place called Zarephath, to live with a woman and her only son. The woman, also beset by the drought, tells Elijah that she does not have any food to give him. Elijah promises her that God will provide, and (foreshadowing the Chanukah story) her small cruise of oil lasts for much much longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n One day, the woman\u2019s son gets very ill and dies. She cries out to Elijah that such a holy visitor brought the eye of God into her house and punished her for her sins. Elijah prays to God and resurrects the child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n And the woman answered Elijah, 'Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD is truly in your mouth\u2019\u201d (verse 24).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Elijah appeared at her house out of nowhere. Her small cruse of oil and jug of flour lasted for months on end; the drought did not harm her. Those were not reason enough to believe that Elijah was a man of God? Yes, resurrecting her son is an awesome miracle, but these other miracles should have already made her a believer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Some commentators think this miracle impressed her the most because Elijah himself performed it. Elijah informed her that the oil and flour would last, but she felt that another prophet may have told him that. Abarbanel believes that the woman did think that Elijah was a prophet due to the oil, but this level of miracle meant that Elijah was on a higher level that made him a man that God connects with directly. Malbim has a similar idea, but points to the flour and oil as suspect prophet work. The woman was not sure if Elijah was performing magic for the initial miracle, but a magician could not bring a boy back from the dead. Only a man of God could do that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n Another reason could be the difference between the two miracles. The oil and flour helped Elijah as well, but Elijah did not need to save her son.\u00a0 The selfless act was the first tip off that this was no ordinary man. The second is that the flour and oil just happened, but Elijah prayed for the boy to be resurrected. Seeing that God answered his prayers was the final act that proved to her that he was a man of God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
