Reply To: How did Rabbi Akiva die?

If the CR was a jungle then we would be catching onto those cool rope-like vines!

Though that would require swinging onto tree branches and it could get scary to swing without some way of avoiding collisions.

Let’s change the subject please… actually may we please go back to the OP?

I asked if there was another version of the story. Besides the scraping his skin off and having a torturous death, is there a version of the Rabbi Akiva story where he has a not unpleasant and not untimely death?

Sorry if someone answered and I didn’t see it yet… Wondering please:

I heard from some source, I don’t remember where, that there is a contradictory story where Rabbi Akiva had an uneventful death. Is there a story like that in another source?

Thank you <3
