Oh my God, Matt, I saw that you posted this yesterday, when I was talking to Jalda about the project her wife is doing, which is when I asked her about the project I wrote to you about. I have been thinking about this midrash (there's a parallel, but different version in the Bavli) for years. Thank you! This is so helpful for the project I am supposed to be presenting on tomorrow!
Thanks, Daniel! I am waiting to respond to your inquiry and am glad that this was helpful! Currently leading a tour group and so I won’t have time to respond to till the end of the week. I know the source in the Bavli which is a variation on the theme. A lot of deep things to unpack!
Interesting stuff

I really enjoyed reading this! Perhaps his “household gods” were a nod to the mysteries that simply cannot be solved?
Maybe? I just found this which suggests a number of interesting directions. http://mossdreams.blogspot.com/2014/02/freud-among-gods.html
I’ll give it a look!
Thanks, Gabriel. I’m not a Freud scholar, but my sense of him is he was more about uncovering mysteries, not honoring them.
Excellent Article! Thank you.
Thanks!
Very thought provoking. What do you think of Adam Phillips' essays on Freud?
