The author discusses Moses’ role in Judaism in the light of Freud’s historical reconstruction (1939/2004) and his analysis with respect to the power and resilience of this culture and tradition. Based on the mythical role of this central character, Freud’s theory on tradition and transmission extends its array of interest to include the social and the clinical psychoanalytic phenomena. In a strict dialog between the Freudian, the exegetic (Sellin, 1922, cited in Freud, 1939/2004) and the overt Torah (Pentateuc) versions of Moses’ narrative, while confronting its contradictions and other many inconsistencies, the author demonstrate the path from Moses and his historical-enactment (die Geschichte) to the relevant consequences to the primordial history (die Urgeschichte) of the culture, the monotheisms and the clinic of the subjectivity.
