Hello Dr. Michi
In your opinion, is Chazal’s interpretation of the Torah commandments ultimate??? If it were up to you to interpret the commandments, would you interpret them differently or is their interpretation some kind of divine and sublime thing?
thanks
It is not sublime but it is binding (although there may be errors). They have formal authority even if not substantive. Search here on the site for the difference between the concepts and discussions on the authority of the Talmud.
