We begin this series by exploring the unique perception of Elijah in the medieval historical context: What elements were incorporated and highlighted from antiquity, especially from the Biblical and Rabbinic traditions? How did Jews in the Middle Ages contribute to the perception of Elijah in modernity?
In the Jewish year and life cycle Elijah the prophet appears in different contexts and forms. In this 4 part series we will deal with his character as it appears in the Middle Ages in Ashkenaz in texts and art, and we will see how this specific historical period affected the development of his perception among the Jewish communities.
