Return to Biblical Judaism

What does “there is a chance” mean? Sociologically? Will the public agree? Or are you asking whether it is appropriate/permissible to do so? My answer to both questions is negative. The Torah evolves, and what binds us is what has been received in tradition (as long as it has an authoritative source). Contrary to those who claim that everything that is happening today was also in the Bible and contrary to those who claim that if it did not happen in the Bible, it should not happen today. And thus the Gemara says in the celebration 3b: And he also began and expounded the words of the sages as spurs and as guards planted. The owners of assemblies gave one pasture. Why were the words of the Torah likened to a spur? Tell you what a spur is that prepares the cow for the milking to bring life to the world? Even the words of the Torah direct their students from the ways of death to the ways of life? What a spur is that shakes? Even the words of the Torah are shaken? Learn to say guards? What a nail is missing and not more? Even the words of the Torah are missing and not allowed? Learn to say planted? What planting is a cow and many? Even the words of the Torah are fruitful and rabbis, owners of assemblies. These are the disciples of the Torah who sit in gatherings and engage in Torah. These defile and these purify. These prohibit and these permit. These disallow and these prepare. Lest a man say, “I am a student of Torah.” From now on, learn to say, “We all gave pasture to one another, we gave one provider.” They say from the mouth of the Lord of all works, blessed be He, as it is written, and God spoke all these things. You also made your ears. As you have an ear, so get an understanding heart to hear the words of those who purify and the words of those who purify, the words of those who prohibit and the words of those who permit, the words of those who reject and the words of those who prepare.
