פירוש על ברכות 56:21

For this benediction, see Singer, p. 48 — "And for slanderers," etc. "It was directed against antinomians — those who rejected or neglected the Law — and also against sectarians within the Synagogue. The statement which originated with Justin Martyr that the paragraph is an imprecation against Christians in general has no foundation whatever" (Abrahams, p. Ixlv). See also Herford, Christianity in Midrash and Talmud, pp. 125 ff.

See p. Ill n. 1.
