The Oral Torah
Question
Doesn’t it strike the Rabbi as absurd that there is such a thing as an Oral Torah? What kind of book, about which it is said, “The Torah of the Lord is perfect”—meaning complete—comes with an oral explanation?
Answer
It is complete when it is understood, and it cannot be understood without the Oral Torah. So there is no difficulty.
