I wanted to thank you.
After numerous questions, discussions, and harassment… I once wanted to thank and praise you for your creativity and originality, which is very difficult to find (if at all) in our society in the field of faith and its ramifications. Everything always sounded to me like a collection of repetitive ramblings, mainly intended to justify the way these people lived.
That’s not how you feel.
I must nevertheless comment, if I may, that the use of the word ‘I think’ is a bit too much, it is convenient for the reader to read a variety of words. You can write ‘It seems to me’ ‘It gives me the impression’, although it is less literary, it is more varied.
And on a completely different matter (even if it is permissible), you argued that when there are a large number of questions, it is better to answer them in one answer than to reject each one individually. Therefore, the countless questions regarding the existence of the people of Israel and the tradition from Sinai, etc., lead us to one all-encompassing excuse, which is divine revelation. The question is whether when we assume that the giving of the Torah was from heaven, we do not ‘create’ a large number of questions from the other direction. Regarding the status of women and the perception of human life, and in general everything related to the old and ancient perception that very much characterizes the Torah. So, although there are rejections and explanations for each issue separately, would we not prefer one excuse over all instead of rejecting and answering each one individually? And the excuse in this case would be that the giving of the Torah is a tradition that has undergone a distorted process or assimilation into tradition, etc.
