The Development of the Torah and the Tradition
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I heard an interview with the Rabbi from a few days ago, in which the Rabbi said that Jewish law was "transmitted" through an ongoing process, and that there is evidence for this even in the Talmud. And only in later generations was the dichotomy created that everything was transmitted at the Revelation at Mount Sinai.
Can the Rabbi point me to an article or a lecture where he lays out his view on this matter in detail?
Answer
I don’t remember a specific lecture right now. I’ve touched on it a lot in various places. But it’s completely obvious. What is there to write about it?!
