The text uses a distinction found in Freud´s Moses and Monotheism between Geschichte (historical event), Historie (historiography) and historish (historical truth). Supported by fragments presented in narratives, reports and images that constitute the historical event and its historiographic versions, the construction of the historish in psychoanalysis is followed. The article demonstrates how the historish comes to fulfill gaps presented by Geschichte and Historie in what concerns the deeds of Moses and the setting up of Judaism. It concludes by identifying in this procedure Freud´s ethical commitmen to support a theoretical act which founds the historical truth of this religion.
