[HANASHIR:17189] RE: Which Line Is It Anyway?

[Eric Rayvid <Eric...>]

Not sure if this went through because I sent it from a different email address:

Steve, I actually wrote a song to that text for the NFTY song competition in
either '87 or '88 (can't remember which).  At any rate, Jeff Jolton and I took
the text from the old blue GOP and the text was attributed to Rabbi Yehuda.  
Does
this even answer your question?  I have no idea, but I thought I would plug the
music I wrote anyway.
 
Send me an email offlist if you need any more information.

Forgot to finish the sentence (duh!) . . . it was supposed to read, "I have seen
other sources (i.e., the blue GOP) that say it is Pirkei Avot 4:27.

Chevrei -
 
I have seen two different citations for the text "Al tistakeyl b'kankan eileh
b'mah sh'yeish bo."  (Do not judge the container, but rather what is inside.) 
According to DavkaWriter Text Library; it is Pirkei Avot 4:20, but I have seen
other sources (i.e., the blue GOP).  Which is it?  Or is it the same case as 
when
I asked about the correct citation for "Lo alecha . . " last year (depends on 
who
you talk to)?
 

Also, according to one version I learned when an Eisnerite, the phrase was
attributed to Rabbi Yehuda ("Amar, amar . . . amar Rabi Yehuda").  I have seen
other sources attribute this verse to Rabbi Meir. But I am having a hard time
distinguishing who actually said this phrase from the Hebrew text.  Any clues?
Thanks in advance.

 

 

B'shalom,
