The heretic and the rabbi
If you asked someone \"Why did you want to become a rabbi?\" the answer \"Because of my Jewish hero\" might make you think of King David, Hillel, or Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. But Shawn Simon's Jewish hero might raise a few eyebrows - it is none other than Elisha ben Abuya, the famous heretic of the Talmud. Simon, 35, is a student at Jerusalem's Schecter Institute for Jewish Studies this year, continuing to learn to become a Conservative rabbi. A forceful and articulate speaker, he clearly has many ideas boiling up inside him concerning the future of the Jewish People; yet a few years ago, becoming a rabbi was the furthest thing from his mind. At this point, Elisha, a 2,000-year-old Jewish unbeliever, entered the stage when someone recommended Simon read As a Driven Leaf by Rabbi Milton Steinberg. This was the story of the infamous talmudic heretic, written as modern fiction. Simon found this tragic, torn personality deeply moving.
