   Hi Steve,
   Greetings from a fellow Lake Geneva Summer Camp attendee. I have a college assignment I thought you might shed some light on. Is 52:13 – Is 53 I have read that in ancient Rabbinic literature(ie Targum Jonathan ben Uzziel) that the servant in this passage was interpreted as the Messiah. However, that interpretation changed with Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki and continues today, that the servant is identified as Israel. Do you think that a Jewish person close to the time this passage was written would have thought the servant was referring to the Messiah or Israel? If a change in interpretation took place, how and why do you think that came about? This is one of the questions I am to address about this passage. Thanks
