Kirsten Dietrich hat mit Marisa Nöldeke gesprochen.

7 takeaways from this study Invite honest spiritual diagnosis. Like the priest examining skin, ask trusted, mature believers to help you “see between” (i.e., discern) surface symptoms and deeper heart issues. Treat words as covenant weighty. Refuse gossip, venting, and subtle character attacks. Before speaking, ask: “Will this build this person's name, or damage it?” Watch for “spreading marks.” Pay attention when a small compromise, habit or resentment begins to spread into more areas of your life. Act early; don't wait for “raw flesh.” Guard your environments. Examine your “house” and “garments” — your home culture, media intake, and closest relationships. Remove influences that repeatedly pull you toward uncleanness. Pursue restoration, not disposal. When someone falls, think in terms of Leviticus 14 and Matthew 18 — clear, sometimes firm steps whose goal is reconciliation and return, not humiliation. Practice confession in safe spaces. Cultivate relationships where sins can be confessed without fear of public exposure, yet with a commitment to real change and mutual prayer (James 5:16). Come to Yeshua as the Leper-Bearer. Do not try to “clean up” first. Bring your visible failures and hidden rot to the Messiah who bears our plagues and alone declares us clean. Leviticus 13–14 presents צָרַעַת tzara'at (“leprosy”) as a covenantal condition rather than a simple medical diagnosis. The text treats skin, garments, and houses as potential carriers of impurity. It assigns priests the task of careful observation and verdict. These chapters sit within a broader biblical pattern that links visible affliction to inner and communal realities, and they anticipate a figure who bears the community's plagues and restores access to God. Key terms and covenant framework To begin, let’s recap some several foundational Hebrew terms in Leviticus. קָרְבָּן korban/qorban (“offering” or “gift”) denotes what is brought near to God. It derives from קָרַב karav (“to approach”). קָדוֹשׁ kadosh (“holy”) describes what is set apart for God. Its opposite on the broader spectrum is חוֹל khol (“common,” “profane”). Within that spectrum, another axis appears: טָהוֹר tahor (“clean”) versus טָמֵא tamé/tamei (“unclean”). These categories answer a central question: may a person, object, or place approach the divine presence. Alongside these stand terms related to the condition itself. צָרַעַת tzara'at refers to the condition often translated “leprosy.” הַמְּצֹרָע ha‑metzora (“the leper”) denotes the afflicted person. The Greek Old Testament (Septuagint/LXX) uses λέπρα lepra (“leprosy”) from λέπις lepis (“scale”), which influenced traditional English renderings. Within this framework, Leviticus does not primarily ask whether a condition is dangerous to public health. It asks whether a person or object is fit to approach the holy. The priest as observer and discerner Next, the text defines a specific role for the priest. Priests do not prescribe remedies. They look, examine, and declare. Leviticus 13 repeatedly uses verbs of seeing. It commands that a person with a suspicious mark “shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests” (Leviticus 13:2 NASB95). The priest then looks and pronounces the person clean (tahor) or unclean (tamei) (Leviticus 13:3). This activity reflects the idea of discernment expressed by the Hebrew word בֵּין bein (“between”). Discernment involves seeing between options, not merely reacting to appearances. In this context, the priest discerns between temporary, harmless eruptions and conditions that indicate deeper defilement. The verdict has immediate communal consequences. An unclean person must live outside the camp and cry “Unclean! Unclean!” (Leviticus 13:45–46 NASB95). Signs, criteria, and the logic of examination From here, the text lays out detailed criteria. Leviticus 13:3–8 describes a swelling, scab, or bright spot on the skin. If the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears deeper than the skin, the priest declares it tzara’at and pronounces the person unclean (Leviticus 13:3). If the spot is not deeper than the skin and the hair has not turned white, the priest isolates the person for seven days and then re‑examines (Leviticus 13:4–5). As the chapter continues, it applies similar logic to other situations: spreading versus non‑spreading rashes raw (living) flesh inside a white area conditions on the scalp or beard eruptions after boils or burns total whiteness of the body ordinary baldness In each case, depth, color, and spread determine the verdict. Some severe‑looking conditions, such as total whiteness, may be declared clean (Leviticus 13:12–13). Other less conspicuous signs, such as raw flesh appearing within whiteness, result in an unclean verdict (Leviticus 13:14–15). The text requires time, repetition, and attention to change over time. The priest does not rush. He isolates, observes, and only then pronounces. ConditionResultDeep lesion with white hairTameiSpreading lesionTameiRaw/living fleshTameiYellow-haired scalp diseaseTameiStable non-spreading eruptionTahorEntire body turned whiteTahorHealed lesion turned whiteTahorBaldnessTahorWhite spots (bohaq)Tahor Garments and houses under inspection Furthermore, the same pattern extends beyond human skin. Leviticus 13:47–59 addresses “a mark of leprosy” (נֶגַע צָרָעַת nega tzara'at) in garments of wool or linen, or in leather items. If the mark is greenish or reddish and appears deeper than the material, the priest isolates the item for seven days (Leviticus 13:49–50). After washing and further observation, persistent or spreading marks result in burning; disappearing marks allow the garment to be used again (Leviticus 13:53–58). ConditionVerdictGreen/red mark under investigationIsolateMark spreadsTameiMark unchanged after washingTameiMark reappearsTameiMark disappears after treatmentTahor Leviticus 14 then moves to houses in the land. If a “mark of leprosy” appears as greenish or reddish depressions that seem deeper than the wall surface, the priest orders the house emptied and examined (Leviticus 14:33–36). He shuts it up for seven days. If the mark spreads, he commands that affected stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place. He has other stones and plaster used to repair the house. If the mark returns after repair, the house is condemned and demolished (Leviticus 14:43–45). If the mark does not spread and fades after replastering, the priest declares the house clean (Leviticus 14:48). ConditionVerdictGreen/red depressionsIsolateMark spreadsTameiStones removed and repairedReevaluateMark returns after repairsTameiMark does not returnTahor In this way, Leviticus treats garments and houses almost like extensions of the body. The same logic of observation, isolation, treatment, and re‑evaluation governs all three. Symbolic movement from surface to core At this point, a pattern emerges. Tzara'at affects skin, clothing, and structures. Rabbinic literature often notes a progression: first the house, then the garments, then the body. This order suggests a movement from environment to personal sphere to the person himself. The biblical text does not explicitly state this sequence. However, the parallel procedures support the idea that impurity can permeate all layers of life. This perspective also clarifies why the total whiteness of the body in Leviticus 13:12–13 can result in a “clean” verdict. In that case, nothing remains hidden. The condition has reached full exposure. Some commentators take this as evidence that the text addresses a covenantal sign, not an ordinary communicable disease. The priest evaluates the meaning of the mark in relation to God's covenant with Israel, rather than functioning as a physician. Inner origin of defilement When the wider canon comes into view, this ritual logic links to broader moral teaching. Mark 7:20–23 records Yeshua's statement that “that which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man” (Mark 7:20 NASB95). He lists evil thoughts, immoral behavior, thefts, murders, adulteries, greed, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness as originating within and defiling a person (Mark 7:21–23). In this light, the outward mark of tzara’at can be read as a visible sign of inner disorder. The priest's task then resembles spiritual discernment. He recognizes when something has moved from superficial irritation to deep‑seated corruption. This reading does not require that every case of tzara'at derive from a specific sin. It does, however, align the ritual legislation with the larger scriptural theme that the heart is the true source of uncleanness. The ‘plague’ of the tongue Building on this, a long‑standing Jewish association links tzara'at with לָשׁוֹן הָרַע lashon hara (“evil tongue,” i.e., slander). Leviticus 19:16 commands, “You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the LORD” (NASB95). Psalm 34:13 similarly urges, “Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit” (NASB95). Rabbinic works such as the חפץ חיים Chafetz Chaim systematize this connection. They describe lashon hara as spreading “plague” through a community. In that framework, tzara'at becomes a physical counterpart to social and moral rot. It functions as a divine alarm that something in the speech life of the covenant people has turned destructive. At the same time, these traditions also draw careful boundaries. They exclude from lashon hara necessary testimony about abuse or wrongdoing that must be exposed to protect others or correct grave injustice. Thus, Scripture's concern for truth and protection of the vulnerable remains intact. Summary: What is and isn't lashon ha-ra It is derogatory information: Describes a person's negative characteristics. Spreads potentially harmful information. Embarrasses the person discussed. Garners ill-will against the subject. What it isn't: Helping the person in question. Discussing with a trustworthy person — not a tale-bearer — whether correction is needed and how to do it. Helping a victim or preventing victimization. Resolving a major dispute: peacemaking. Discipline, exclusion and restoration Turning now to the New Testament, similar patterns of exclusion and restoration appear. Matthew 18:15–17 outlines a process for dealing with sin within the community. First comes private confrontation. If that fails, the offended person brings one or two witnesses who practice discretion. If the sinner still refuses to listen, the matter goes before the congregation. Persistent refusal leads to treating the person “as a Gentile and a tax collector” (Matthew 18:17 NASB95). Paul applies a similar process in the morally challenged Greek port city of Corinth. In 1Corinthians 5, the apostle commands the congregation to remove a man engaged in flagrant immorality “so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus” (1 Corinthians 5:5 NASB95). In 2Corinthians 2:6–8, Paul then urges the congregation to forgive and comfort the now‑repentant man, to prevent overwhelming sorrow. Thus, exclusion serves a restorative aim, like the temporary isolation of the metzora. This parallel underscores a key principle. The goal is not permanent banishment. The objective is cleansing, healing, and reintegration into the people of God. Leviticus 14 will make this explicit in its detailed restoration rites. The suffering servant and the bearing of plagues Isaiah 52–53 is a key passage for understanding the true solution to tzara’at foreshadowed in Torah. Isaiah 53:4–5 states, “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities” (Isaiah 53:4–5 NASB95). “Stricken” is translated from נָגַע naga (“to strike, to plague”), the same root behind נֶגַע nega (“mark,” “plague”) in Leviticus and for the 10 plagues during the Exodus. Isaiah 53:6 adds, “the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him” (Isaiah 53:6 NASB95). It continues, “My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities” (Isaiah 53:11 NASB95). Here, one righteous figure bears both the guilt and the afflictions of many. Earlier Jewish sources sometimes refer to this figure as a “leper” or afflicted Messiah, drawing on the association between being “stricken” and the imagery of tzara'at. In this context, the servant takes the role of ultimate bearer of uncleanness and sin. He functions as the one on whom the community's nega falls, so that others may be cleansed and restored. Jewish commentators wrestle with Isaiah 53 Within this framework, it is helpful to note how different Jewish streams interpret Isaiah 52:13–53:12 and then compare those readings to the text itself. To begin with, many modern rabbinic commentators identify the “Servant” with Israel as a nation or with a righteous remnant. On this view, the plural language elsewhere in Isaiah about Israel as “My servant” (e.g., Isaiah 41:8–9; 49:3 NASB 1995) governs the reading of Isaiah 53. Israel suffers in exile, is “despised and forsaken” (Isaiah 53:3 NASB 1995), and bears the hostility of the nations. The nation's suffering then has a redemptive dimension for the world. However, this approach must handle details such as the Servant's innocence (“He had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His mouth,” Isaiah 53:9 NASB 1995) and vicarious language (“the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him,” Isaiah 53:6 NASB 1995). National Israel in the book of Isaiah is repeatedly rebuked for sin (e.g., Isaiah 1:2–4 NASB 1995), so applying the Servant's consistent righteousness to the same corporate entity requires either restricting the Servant to a purified subset of Israel or treating the description as idealized. By contrast, Karaite interpreters, who reject the binding authority of the Talmud, tend to read Isaiah 53 more straightforwardly. Some Karaite exegesis identifies the Servant as a singular, future, righteous figure closely tied to messianic expectation, though not associated with the New Testament. Others still apply the passage corporately to Israel. Where they see an individual, they emphasize the Servant's innocence, his unjust suffering “for our transgressions” (Isaiah 53:5 NASB 1995), his death (“cut off out of the land of the living,” Isaiah 53:8 NASB 1995), and subsequent exaltation (“He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted,” Isaiah 52:13 NASB 1995). In doing so, they align more directly with the plain singular grammar of the chapter, while differing sharply in identifying who that righteous sufferer is. At the same time, classical Talmudic sources preserve yet another line of interpretation. In Babylonian tractate Sanhedrin 98b, one opinion names the Messiah as “the leper scholar,” and then cites Isaiah 53:4: “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried” (Isaiah 53:4 NASB95), inserting the word “leper” into the paraphrase. Other midrashic materials occasionally apply parts of Isaiah 53 to righteous individuals or to the Messiah son of Joseph, a suffering messianic figure distinct from the royal Messiah son of David. These readings treat the Servant as an individual who bears sufferings and reproach on behalf of Israel and sometimes of the nations. In this way, they track closely with the passage's singular subject, his innocence, his bearing of others' sins, and his death followed by seeing “offspring” and prolonging his days (Isaiah 53:10–11). When these approaches are set alongside the text, several features stand out. The Servant is consistently singular: Suffers willingly and unjustly. Bears the sins and iniquities of “many” (Isaiah 53:11–12 NASB95). Dies as “cut off” and yet afterward sees offspring and days prolonged. Corporate-identity interpretations must explain how a sinful nation can be described as entirely righteous and substituting for others, while individual‑messianic interpretations must explain how one person's suffering can rightly stand in for the guilt of many. The passage itself keeps these tensions in view and holds together vicarious suffering, innocence, death, and exaltation in a single Servant figure. More ancient witnesses weigh in Within this same line of comparison, medieval Jewish commentators provide two influential and contrasting approaches to Isaiah 52:13–53:12. To begin with, Rashi (11th century) reads the Servant almost entirely as Israel. He anchors his interpretation in earlier “servant” passages where Israel is explicitly named: “But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen” (Isaiah 41:8 NASB95; cf. Isaiah 44:1–2; 49:3). For Rashi, the “despised and forsaken” figure (Isaiah 53:3 NASB95) fits the persecuted, exilic nation. The nations, having misjudged Israel as cursed, will one day recognize that Israel's suffering has brought them blessing. On this reading, “He was pierced through for our transgressions” (Isaiah 53:5 NASB95) means that Israel is pierced because of the sins of the Gentile nations, not as a substitute bearing Israel's own guilt. However, when this interpretation is measured against the chapter's details, certain tensions appear. The Servant is described as wholly innocent: “He had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His mouth” (Isaiah 53:9 NASB95). Yet earlier in Isaiah, Israel is repeatedly indicted: “Alas, sinful nation, people weighed down with iniquity” (Isaiah 1:4 NASB95). To address this, national‑Servant readings must either treat the Servant as the ideal righteous Israel within Israel, or as a future purified Israel no longer marked by sin. In addition, the text repeatedly sets the Servant over against “we” and “our”: “All of us like sheep have gone astray… but the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him” (Isaiah 53:6 NASB95). A strictly corporate view must explain how the same entity can be both the guilty “we” and the innocent “He” who bears their iniquity. By contrast, Ramban (Nachmanides, 13th century) offers a more individual, often implicitly messianic reading. While he acknowledges that “servant” can sometimes refer to Israel, he argues that the specific language in Isaiah 53 goes beyond the nation. He highlights the Servant's spotless righteousness, his voluntary acceptance of suffering, and the clearly substitutionary statements: “He was pierced through for our transgressions … the chastening for our well‑being fell upon Him” (Isaiah 53:5 NASB95). Ramban notes that Israel's own sins are heavy and frequent in the book; therefore, Israel cannot coherently be both the guilty party and the innocent substitute. Ramban also draws attention to the Servant's death and subsequent exaltation. Isaiah 53:8 speaks of Him being “cut off out of the land of the living” (NASB95), while Isaiah 53:10–11 states that after making “His soul a guilt offering,” “He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand” (Isaiah 53:10–11 NASB95). For Ramban, this pattern — suffering, death, then seeing offspring and prolonged days — points to a particular righteous sufferer whose story does not end in defeat. He stops short of identifying this figure with Yeshua, but he preserves the text's singular, personal shape and its vicarious logic. Set alongside the passage itself, these two medieval readings frame the main options. A corporate-national reading underscores Israel's role in redemptive history, but must re‑configure clear “He/We” contrasts and absolute declarations of innocence. An individual‑servant reading preserves the straightforward grammar, the Servant's blamelessness, and the repeated emphasis on bearing others' iniquities, but must then explain how one righteous sufferer can justly carry the guilt of “many” (Isaiah 53:11–12 NASB95). Isaiah 53 itself holds together a singular Servant, perfect righteousness, substitutionary suffering, real death, and subsequent exaltation, and it invites every interpreter — medieval and modern — to reckon carefully with that full portrait. Yeshua's ministry: healing and priestly declaration In the Gospels, this pattern converges in the ministry of Yeshua. Luke 5:12–14 records a man “covered with leprosy” who falls on his face and begs, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean” (Luke 5:12 NASB 1995). Yeshua touches him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy leaves him. Then Yeshua commands him, “Go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them” (Luke 5:13–14 NASB95). This episode unites divine authority and Torah observance. Yeshua both heals and sends the man into the priestly system for formal recognition of restoration. The priest confirms what the Messiah has already accomplished. Luke 17:11–19 narrates the healing of 10 lepers. All cry out from a distance. All are cleansed as they go to show themselves to the priests. Yet only one, a Samaritan, returns to give glory to God and falls at Yeshua's feet in gratitude. Yeshua notes that only this foreigner came back and tells him, “Your faith has made you well” (Luke 17:19 NASB95). Here faith, gratitude, and cross‑boundary mercy stand beside physical cleansing and priestly verification. Holiness, community, and ongoing application Taken together, these texts present a coherent picture. Holiness (kadosh) requires separation from defilement. Clean and unclean (tahor and tamei) categories govern approach to God and participation in the covenant community. Outward signs, whether on skin, garments, or houses, reveal deeper realities and require careful discernment. Speech can function as a plague. Communities must deal with sin and abuse honestly yet with a view to restoration. At the same time, the prophetic witness and the Gospel narratives direct attention to a central figure who bears iniquity and affliction for many. Through Him, ultimate cleansing and restoration become possible. He both fulfills the priestly discernment and surpasses it by providing effective atonement. In daily practice, these themes invite self‑examination, responsible speech, wise pastoral care, and hope. They call communities to resist both careless toleration of evil and harsh, hopeless rejection of the fallen. They also summon individuals to bring their visible and hidden uncleanness to the One who discerns truly and cleanses completely. Step beyond diagnosis into restoration. In Leviticus 13 we watched tzara'at expose what is wrong. In Leviticus 14 we'll see how God makes a way back. Next Shabbat, we'll explore the cleansing rites for the metzora, the strange use of birds, cedar, scarlet, and hyssop, and how these ceremonies whisper of resurrection, new beginnings, and a Messiah who not only declares us clean but brings us home to the community.

Sidwell is determined to make those responsible for Marco's death suffer, and he has a growing list of targets.  GH spoilers suggest those on his hit list are Jason Morgan, played by Steve Burton, and Sonny Corinthos, portrayed by Maurice Benard. Sidwell is also leveraging his influence over Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) to aid his revenge plot.  Spoilers for General Hospital bring a surprising twist as the vengeful father may also target Kristina Corinthos-Davis, played by Kate Mansi, in a case of mistaken identity.

But Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire. Now the chief priests and all the council sought testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. For many bore false witness against Him, but their testimonies did not agree. Then some rose up and bore false witness against Him, saying, “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.' ” But not even then did their testimony agree. And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death. Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands. Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with Jesus of Nazareth.” But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” And he went out on the porch, and a rooster crowed. And the servant girl saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.” But he denied it again. And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.” Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this Man of whom you speak!” A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And when he thought about it, he wept. - Homily - The Versicle (p. 122) - The Canticle (p. 123) - The Nunc Dimittis (p. 124) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 333 - Christ, the Life of All the Living: vv. 1, 2,7 - Postlude Service Participants: Graham Parsons (Preacher), John Baumann (Organist)

Zwei rechts, zwei links. Hach, wie erholsam, wenn man dabei keine politischen Assoziationen haben muss! Einfach weiterstricken, bis das gute Stück fertig ist. Schals, Mützen, Socken oder Pullis, Jacken, Kleider. Kleine oder große Strickarbeiten, egal was: Hauptsache, keine Masche fallen lassen! Stricken ist im Trend, Handarbeit wird wieder geschätzt als angenehme und produktive Ablenkung, und dabei kommt das Gegenteil von Fast Fashion raus. Woher kommt der Trend? Wird heute anders mit den Nadeln geklappert als bei früheren Generationen? Vielleicht finden wir ja ein kleines bisschen heile Welt im Strickzeug. Darüber spricht Karen Fuhrmann mit der Strickinfluencerin Miriam Seibert alias Mia, der Autorin Ebba D. Drolshagen, Verena Schmitt vom Umweltinstitut München und der Psychiaterin und Psychotherapeutin Barbara Jost.

Johnny Be Good (1988)Johnny Be Good is a late 80s coming-of-age comedy.Johnny Walker is the most wanted high school quarterback in the country and college recruiters will do anything to land him.The movie takes an satirical and exaggerated look at college recruiting practices of the 80s. It's a movie about integrity, self-respect and choosing your own path, no matter the cost.

REVENGE, REVOLUTION, AND THE BIRTH OF A PATRIOT Colleague Professor Robert G. Parkinson. In 1774, a grief-stricken Logan launched a brutal revenge campaign, killing nearly 20 people to "glut his vengeance." This violence occurred as the Continental Congress began forming an army, calling for rifle companies from the frontier. Ironically, Michael Cresap, the man Logan blamed for the murders, was appointed to lead a Maryland rifle company. As Lord Dunmore launched a war against the Shawnee to secure land for Virginia, Logan delivered his famous lament to his brother-in-law John Gibson, signaling that his personal war was over and he was satisfied with the blood he had spilled.

THE EARLY LIFE OF XI ZHONGXUN Colleague Joseph Torigian. Joseph Torigian introduces the early life of Xi Zhongxun, father of Xi Jinping. Born in 1913 in poverty-stricken Shaanxi province, Xi grew up surrounded by famine and warlord violence. Torigian recounts a pivotal incident where a teenage Xi attempted to poison a school administrator during a revolutionary purge. While imprisoned for this act, he formally joined the Communist Party, motivated less by Marxist theory than by a romanticized view of revolution found in novels. NUMBER 9
