Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer

Chapter of the great Rebbi Eliezer

Rebbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus,
In a new Zohar it is stated that Rebbi Eliezer was a reincarnation of Reuven the firstborn of Yaakov, and for this reason, the decree of ten martyrs who according to the Kabbalah was sentenced to the ten sages for being equal against the ten tribes who threw Yosef into the pit, did not apply to Rebbi Eliezer but only ordered to throw Yosef into the pit, and therefore threw Rebbi Eliezer into the pit but raised him afterward and did not kill him.
In the book of Bnei Yissachar it is stated that since Reuven was the one who always dealt with repentance for his sin that confused his father’s performance, it is appropriate to rule like him when it comes to repentance, and because Rebbi Eliezer rules that the witnesses handed over This year – the time of writing, Yom Kippur – the time of signing, and Hoshana Rabba – which is the time of handing over the notes to the emissaries, it should be ruled that the time of repentance exists until Hoshana Rabba, and until then it is possible to repent and change the sentence. He connects these things, to the reason by which Moshe Rabbeinu prayed that Rebbi Eliezer came out of his loins as quoted in the ruling in the name of Rebbi Acha.
Years passed during which Rebbi Eliezer was prevented from reaching the Beit Midrash. Sages lost his teachings and the many of his traditions he had. Specially in particular Rebbi Akiva who was his special student. He lost the controversy of Achnai’s furnace. He did not compromise with the sages, even though the halacha [the Jewish law] is – singular and plural halacha as plural. But he did not give up his mind, without which there is no point in life, but what are years, even decades, in the face of eternity.
