Debate with Yaron Yadan
Question
Hello,
In the debate you held with Yaron Yadan, you argued that the Torah determines Jewish law, not morality. Therefore, moral standards should not be set on the basis of the Torah, and its commandments sometimes create a dilemma between the divine command and one’s personal conscience. Does what you said imply that God Himself is not moral? And isn’t there something presumptuous on the part of the created being in casting aspersions on the morality of his Creator?
Thank you,
Answer
Absolutely not. Search here for columns on Jewish law and morality.
