Is the Gemara known where the demi of an apocrypha is? “He who says, “May the Lord and his rabbis teach us, and may our rabbis teach us” I do not understand two things: a. How is Torah different from all other wisdom? Even Greek wisdom is useful in this wisdom. What is the added value of Torah from all other wisdom? b. Let us assume that we understand what is the added value of the wisdom of the Torah beyond other wisdoms. Why is this the reason why a person has been reduced to the serious status of an apocrypha? They will say that he made a big mistake, and so on. What is the connection with apocrypha?

The Torah is different from any other wisdom, as there will be many who will not see it as wisdom at all. What is the wisdom in dealing with impurity and purity or the laws of sacrifice? What is the benefit of it? This is almost the literal interpretation of “May we… to him we have learned.” And this is precisely heresy, a lack of faith in God, the Almighty, and in the fact that His Torah has value.
