Mar, son of Ravina, says: He engaged in bestiality with his donkey. ... And the one who says that he engaged in bestiality with his donkey derives it as follows: It is written here: “He crouched, he lay down” (Numbers 24:9), and it is written there: “Between her legs he sunk, he fell, he lay” (Judges 5:27), which is interpreted as a reference to s-xual intercourse between Sisera and Jael.

...

וְלֹא עוֹד, אֶלָּא שֶׁאֲנִי עוֹשָׂה [לְךָ] מַעֲשֵׂה אִישׁוּת בַּלַּיְלָה. כְּתִיב הָכָא: ״הַהַסְכֵּן הִסְכַּנְתִּי״, וּכְתִיב הָתָם: ״וַתְּהִי לוֹ סֹכֶנֶת״.

The donkey continued: Moreover, I perform a conjugal act for you and we engage in bestiality at night. From where is this derived? It is written here: “Was I ever wont [hahasken hiskanti] to do so to you” (Numbers 22:30)? And it is written there with regard to Abishag the Shunammite: “And let her be a companion [sokhenet] to him” (I Kings 1:2). Just as the root samekh, kaf, nun indicates s-xual relations in the case of Abishag, the same is true with regard to the donkey. Balaam was unable to best his donkey in a debate.

the middle old testament is filled with so many rich stories but what catches eyes in the Saturnine shock age? Balaam, a schizoid half-prophet, fornicating with a mule

what i appreciate about judaism in post-soviet 20xx is how "cool" and post-modern it typically leans, outside of the israel discourse which appears to be an outlier as far as average jewish beliefs go. really internalizing the lessons of modernity's industrialized approach to warfare, high modern militancy, and the holocaust is what brought european jewry post-structuralism and the general sense that there were critical missteps taken in many avenues of Western and near-Eastern (jews occupy a position somewhere in between the two) thought

tldr: zealotry is sometimes a practical necessity but always a dangerous route to take through an ethical issue
