The Way to the Messiah

שו”תCategory: Talmudic studyThe Way to the Messiah
asked 8 months ago

In Platonism 19 the Rabbi said that even if we could theoretically create details that would serve us as needed even without the knowledge of how the mechanism works, it is still valuable for us to know the principle by which the details work, from the perspective of the truth itself.
And the same thing in Halacha that we have Platonic value in knowing all kinds of principles that cannot really exist in the practical world, from the perspective of truth itself.
Another time, the rabbi explained regarding the question of the Gemara’s approach to the Messiah that it should be said that the Gemara did not find a relevant Platonic value and therefore made it difficult.
I asked – Even if the Gemara did not find Platonic value, is it still important for us to know the truth in itself from the standpoint of being truth, and if so, can the Gemara never make it difficult to walk towards the Messiah?
Thank you very much!

I didn’t understand the question. If there is no Platonic value, then what do you want to know? Truth is the Platonic value.
