The Term
BY RABBI SAMUEL FOX
•
(Copyright 1970 JTA, Inc.)
The term "pilpul" refers to a
method of studying the Talmud
which is highly logical and some-
times even hair splitting. The
word comes from the word "spicy"
or "peppery" indicating that the
arguments were very sharp, i.e.
that the logic was very fine. The
Mishna (Abut 6:5) already states
that one gains possession of the
knowledge of the Torah by study
and the argumentation of the stu-
dents. The word used for argu-
mentation in the text is taken from
the same root as the word "Pil-
pul." This became the most popu-
lar method of Talmud study in Po-
land and Lithuanian yeshivot in
the days of Rabbi Jacob Pollack in
the 15th Century. This great Tal-
mud scholar became known as the
"father of pilpul." His method
traveled throughout East European
yeshivot after which it came to
America and Israel. It is a study
of the text in depth as compared
to such methods as historical in-
vestigation and linguistic analysis,
although the latter interests may
sometimes enter into the matter.
A certain amount of dialectic was
likewise involved although the
method of pilpul is not limited to
philosophical speculation.
