Chananya Ben Tradyon, one of the "Ten Martyrs" was discovered by The Romans teaching the outlawed Torah. They then wrapped him in a Torah scroll, piled bundles of twigs around him, and before setting him afire they placed damp woolen cloths on him to prolong the agony of being burned to death. As the flames engulfed him, his disciples asked him, "Master, what do you see?" Rabbi Chananya replied: "I see a scroll burning, but the letters flying up to Heaven." |
