      Question. A juxaposition. Acher questions the ECHAD of H' in Pardes; Acher threatens to cut a child [or what he is holding] into 13 pieces. As 13 is the gematria of ECHAD, is the core apikorsis of Acher his challange to H' achdus, that is, the real driver behind Acher's descent? Is this core challange indicated in Gemora? Kol tuv.
