Q&A: The Oral Torah
The Oral Torah
Question
With God’s help, hello Rabbi, I watched several videos against the Oral Torah, and my faith in the Oral Torah has been shaken. Also because I didn’t find any really good counterargument on the various websites. For example, I discovered that the verse “according to what they instruct you” is really talking about laws between one person and another, and has nothing to do with the sages of the Talmud or anything like that. As for phylacteries and mezuzah, that also is not the plain meaning of the verses at all. And so on and so forth. I assume the Rabbi is well-versed in this topic, and I would be happy to receive an answer! All the best, Mordechai G.
Answer
Hello,
These videos have come up here for discussion recently, and I responded to them. In my opinion, they did not present any significant arguments.
