Eggs and Cheese
I understand the symbolism of the eggs and the goats, but for simplicity's sake, couldn't R' Yehoshua have responded by arguing that the eggs themselves are both white?
Thanks
As always, I like your essay / class. Bright days always come; it does not matter how long darkness continues it will be replaced with lightness. The same is true for Jewish history book.
To Yisroel
Perhaps because eggs are created by nature; cheese has to be created by the human being. The light that comes from the transformation of drakness is a human creation; it is the unique contribution of mankind.
Also, the whiteness of cheese is far sharper than that of eggs.
Also, after he explained it through the goats, that blackness too produces light, then indeed it can be applied to aggs as well. but first he had to introduce the very concept through the cheese of the goats. i think this is really the answer.
21 days
I thought 21 days represented the days of holiness in the year?
