- The entirely new issue added by הודאה can be seen (and its importance gauged) simply by the difference in Yehuda’s (Dovid’s) response to being told he made a mistake and Shaul’s endless insistence that “I did it right!” How could you compare the power of being plugged in to the power of letting go? Like being sick and aware compared to being healthy and oblivious. Yosef is as much changed at the moment of ויגש as Yehuda is! It is clear for the first time that he cannot function as part of the nation of the in-formation element of בריאה which is Yisrael if his entire claim to success is the connection to living. Dovid outdoes him at this in his response to Yeled while maintaining complete awareness!
Yosef and Yehuda together equal the nature of human consciousness, the measure of process information as it developes within and impacts the instant. Fabulous metaphor in “Stranger than Fiction” in which the dangers of מינות and the connection to intellectual competence and the willingness to live a life attached to tragedy falls to the relinquishment to the moment, which fails to deal with the synthesis (though it attemps to).
Language as the agent of evolutionary zeitgeist which is unavoidable when the child in Meah Shearim uses words that are being used by the child in Tel Aviv. What is left is not a 19th century child, but a 21st century child with 19th century tools!
