Absent body and sanctity: the word as the enunciation of the miracle This work aims at analysing some aspects of oral discourse related with sanctity and the miracle concerning the case of Malka saltz as it is manifested in various testimonies from the Jewish community of Tucumán. The phenomenon of the Holy in the Judaic culture has not been studied enough so much so that the existence and the depth of the phenomenon is inclusive unknown. Thus, it is suprising to find this type of discourse in the popular mysticism, and though it is socially acknowledged as true, it fluctuates between the transgression and the impugnation of the transgression The enunciator manifests this ambivalence because it afects the community boundary in dealing with a subject which goes deep into the centre of the judaic precepts originated in the sacred texts, and which prohibit image reverence and worship of any form which is not divine
