Avatar ... the Messiah?

Jan 13, 2010 at 10:51 AM | Posted by Rabbi Joshua


Yesterday I blogged about some common themes found within the movie Avatar and in Judaism. Today, I ran across a very interesting blog post by Rabbi Barry Leff exploring some deep Messiological aspects of the Movie.

Rabbi Barry explores such concepts within the movie as a virgin birth, deliverance from oppression, a suffering 'Mashiach ben Yosef' who must precede 'Mashiach ben David,' and even the idea of resurrection.

A very interesting read indeed!

You can read his post here.
