Karaim

asked 7 years ago

What is the focus of the controversy? With the Karaites? What does the oath that came down from Mount Sinai include? Mountains Apparently, the rules of the sermon that lead to the Tosheva are logical and related to the logic or understanding of the context of the text? Are we simply better interpreters or is there a value dispute here?

Neither one nor the other. We believe in the tradition that gave us the tools of preaching and they do not. The virtues of preaching are not necessarily logical and it is difficult to say that this is required by the text. On the contrary.

And why believe us more than them?

Because we are more interesting (and I don't say that jokingly)

For example, because their tradition begins in the eighth century, long after the Talmud and the Sages. It is less likely that they preserved the original tradition more accurately. Furthermore, it is unlikely that the Sages invented everything they wrote out of thin air. On the other hand, the claim that there is no Toshefa tradition could certainly be an invention, which is the result of a lack of trust in the existing tradition.
