And to become a Jew you have to analyze and find the meaning of a story for yourself. This aspect is lost to the Christians who find themselves dominated by arrogant knowitalls.
Source? Specifically that all jews always considered the bible to be figurative. BTW, if it has always been figuritive, why would rabbis have to find figuritive meanings? They would already be self evident?
