Yeshu`a mi-Natseret <Hebrew> / Jesus of Nazareth (1950) is a play by Nathan Bistritzky.
Abstract
"Jesus is seen here as the tragic figure unable to achieve his too-high goal. Judas, whom other writers saw as a Messianic activist, appears in Bistritzky's drama as the checking element who wishes to restrain Jesus from the ultimate consequences, in the sense of the Talmudic maxim at the end of the tractate Ketuboth: `Do not force the end'" (Ben-Chorin)
