Shalom Imgladimsaved; I have read from some reliable sources in Israel that a prerquisite for being a Pharisee in the first century was a complete observance of the commands of God as found in the Torah. As the first command is "be fruitful and multiply" a prerequisite to being a pharisee that you have been married and raised children. Since Paul claimed to be a Pharisee (Acts 23:6), according to this view, he had to have been married. He may have become a widow prior to his ministry. Shalom and thank you Simchat Torah |
